You can put this solution on YOUR website! Consecutive integers, I and I+1.
Why do you say, "A square of..."? This and the rest of your description are confusing. Write the exact problem, word for word.
I will try with what you have presented in the current request.
(I+1)^2, a square of one of the integers. This would be the larger one.
Sum of the squares of the integers, (I)^2+(I+1)^2.
.
Exceeds.... by 84?
(I+1)^2-I^2-(I+1)^2=84, meaning their difference is 84, expecting I+1 to be the larger integer.
I^2+2I+1-I^2-(I^2+2I+1)=84
-I^2=84
NO GOOD!
Give the exact problem statement exactly as was given to you.

Let first integer be F
Then second = F + 1
Therefore, 
Solve to determine the value of F, and then F + 1
Then do a check!!
