and



from which we can derive



Substitute



Multiply by



The square root of 135 is approximately 11 and 2/3. A perfect square in the vicinity of 11 is 9. 135 divided by 9 is 15. 9 is odd, a perfect square, not a factor of 15, and when multiplied by -15 (which is odd, not a perfect square, not a factor of 9) equals -135. Furthermore 9 + (-15) is negative.
