∙ 14y agoCall 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.
2 because 22+42 = 20
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...
Either use trial-and-error (try different numbers), or solve an equation like n + (n+1) = 61.
There are none. However, there are two consecutive positive odd numbers: 25 and 27.
