please check your procedure ...
it is not correct .
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^2 + x - 6 = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
please see here , first number = x
second number be x + 1
so by the condition x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 25
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so you get ans 2 or -3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
first simp0lify the parentheses...
we get x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 = 25

@Shatish is doing write
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x^2 + 2x = 24
x^2 + x = 12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^2 + x - 12 = 0
solve it and find the value of x .
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok I know what i did wrong.. I always forget theres a ^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you will get two numbers are as 3 , 4
