two consecutive numbers are squared and then added to gether to get the result of 113. What is the starting formula?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = first consecutive number
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 = second consecutive number
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 113 (you can probably leave it like this)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (x+1)(x+1) = 113
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (x^2+x+x+1) = 113
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (x^2+2x+1) = 113
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2+2x+1 = 113
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
