Hi,

find two consecutive odd numbersand whose square of the larger number 

is 208 more than nine times the smaller number

Translating into an equation***

 (x+2)^2 = 9x + 208

x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x + 208

 x^2 - 5x - 204 = 0   ||factor or use the Quadratic formula 

(x-17)(x+12) = 0 , x = 17  (throwing out negative even number -12)

 The two consecutive odd numbers are  17, 19

and...
