Find two consecutive positive odd integers whose product is 195
------------
Hint: sqrt%28195%29 =~ 14
--> 13 & 15
------------
the hard way:
x*(x+2) = 195
x%5E2+%2B+2x+-+195+=+0
Now you have to factor 195, which is where we started.
=================
Not as hard way:
(x-1)*(x+1) = 195
x%5E2+-+1+=+195
x%5E2+=+196 same as the hint
