I am thinking of two consecutive even integers. The sum of their squares is 340. what are the integers?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = first of two consecutive even integers
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = second even integer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 340
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + (x+2)(x+2) = 340
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x^2+4x+4 = 340
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2+4x+4 = 340
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+2x+2 = 170
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+2x-168 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(x+14)(x-12) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = {-14, 12}
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "solution:
\n" ); document.write( "the two integers are
\n" ); document.write( "12 and 14
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "-12 and -14
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
