Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So we can set up this problem like so:
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 34
You add two to the second x value because assuming the first x is odd you have to add 2 to get to the next odd integer
So:
x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 34
2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 34
2x^2 + 4x - 30 = 0
Factor this using the box method to get
x = -3 or x = 5
Since it has to be positive we have x = 5
then add 2 to 5 to get the next answer ---> y = 7
