What are two consecutive odd whole numbers such that the sum of their squares is 130?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 130
\n" ); document.write( "FOIL
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 130
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 + 4x + 4 - 130 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 + 4x - 126 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify, divide by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factor
\n" ); document.write( "(x+9)(x-7) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Two solutions
