Question 671179: Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 1159

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let n be the smallest of the two odd consecutive integers. Let n+2 be the next odd integer.
Then n(n+2) = 1159
n^2 + 2n -1159 = 0
This has no integer solutions.
Perhaps there is a typo?
