Question 589191
Simple

use x as a variable

you are going to solve for x, so do this:

x^2+(x+1)^2=61

so its x^2+x^2+2x+1=61

2x^2+ 2x +  1   =61

quadratic formula

{{{x = (-b +- sqrt( b^2-4*a*c ))/(2*a) }}}

b=2
a=2
c=1

plug it in and you are done!






















If you get these answers, then you are correct:

5 and 6
