Answer: The two integers are 8 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation: Let n represent the number.

n^2 + (n + 1)^2 = 145

By foiling, this can be rearranged to:

n^2 + n^2 + 2n + 1 = 145

Subtract 145 from both sides:

2n^2 + 2n - 144 = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

n^2 + n - 72 = 0

Factor the polynomial:

(n + 9)(n - 8) = 0

Solve for n:

n = -9, n = 8

Since they need to be consecutive, make the 9 positive. It will be positive either way because it is being squared.

Now, n = 9 and n = 8.

These are your two integers. Hope this helps!
