2 because 22+42 = 20
Call the first variable x, then the next one will be x+1. Your equation is thus: x2 + (x+1)2 = 20. Your next steps would be to open the parentheses for (x+1) squared; add similar terms; and solve the quadratic equation.

A consecutive positive integer is the next positive whole number following a given integer. For example, the consecutive positive integers after 5 would be 6, 7, 8, and so on.
The sum of the squares of two consecutive positive numbers is 41.What is the smaller number?Improved Answer:-It is 4 because 42+52 = 41
The numbers are 12 and 14.
There aren't two positive consecutive numbers that have an LCM of 200.There aren't two positive consecutive numbers that are multiples of 7.Other than that...

There are none. However, there are two consecutive positive odd numbers: 25 and 27.
Either use trial-and-error (try different numbers), or solve an equation like n + (n+1) = 61.
