You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x be the first odd integer, then x+2 is the next consecutive odd integer
\n" ); document.write( "(x^2) + (x+2)^2 = 74
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x^2 + 4x +4 = 74
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 + 4x - 70 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(2x-10)*(x+7) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "we have two solution sets
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 or -7
\n" ); document.write( "our solution sets are
\n" ); document.write( "5, 7 or -7, -5
\n" ); document.write( "check the answers
\n" ); document.write( "5^2 + 7^2 = 25 + 49 = 74
\n" ); document.write( "(-7)^2 + (-5)^2 = 49 + 25 = 74
\n" ); document.write( "our answers check :-)
