Question 255374
let x = positive odd integer and x + 2 be the next positive odd integer.
we get
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 202
foiling the left and combining like terms, we get
2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 202
and then
2x^2 + 4x - 198 = 0
divide by 2 to get
x^2 + 2x - 99 = 0
factor to get
(x+11)(x-9) = 0
solving for x, we get
x = -11 and x = 9
we get (-11,-9) OR (9,11)
