x%2A%28x%2B1%29=650
x%5E2%2Bx-650=0
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x+=+%28-1+%2B-+sqrt%28+1%5E2-4%2A1%2A%28-650%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
x+=+%28-1+%2B-+sqrt%28+2601%29%29%2F2+
x+=+%28-1+%2B-+51%29%2F2+
x%5B1%5D=-26, x%5B2%5D=25
x%5B1%5D%2B1=-26%2B1=-25, x%5B2%5D%2B1=25%2B1=26
Answer: -26 and -25, or 25 and 26
