------
n^2 + (n+2)^2 = n*(n+2) + 103
Solve for n

let x and x+2 be the two odd integers
:
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = x * (x+2) + 103
:
x^2 +x^2+4x+4 = x^2 +2x +103:
:
x^2 +2x -99 = 0
:
(x+11) * (x-9) = 0
:
x = -11 or x = 9
:

The sum of the squares of two consecutive positive odd integers is 103 more than the product of these two integers.Find the integers
-----
1st odd:: 2x-1
2nd odd:: 2x++1
---------------------------
Equation:
(2x-1)^2 + (2x+1)^2 = (2x-1)(2x+1)+103
------------------------------------
4x^2 - 4x +1 + 4x^2 + 4x + 1 = 4x^2-1+103
--------------------------------
8x^2 +2 = 4x^2+102
---------------------
4x^2 = 100
x^2 = 25
x = 5 or x = -5
------
1st solution:: 2x-1 = 2*5-1 = 9 and 2x+1 = 11
2nd solution:: 2x-1 = 2*-5-1 = -11 and 2x+1 = 2(-5)+1 = -9
------------
