SOLUTION: when there is a problem that says find two consecutive integers the sum of whose sqaures is 130... how would you set it up?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
two consecutive integers: like 5,6 or 123,124.

Algebraically we would have x and x+1 as the two numbers.

So, is the equation.

Expand the bracket, collect terms, simplify, factorise and get 1 or 2 answers for x.

trouble is....the solutions are not integers, so either you made up the Q or mis-wrote it.

Anyway, the method is correct
