Answer:

  x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find x such that ...

  x^2 +(x +1)^2 = 61

  2x^2 +2x -60 = 0 . . . . . simplify, subtract 61

  x^2 +x -30 = 0 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  (x +6)(x -5) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor; solutions will make the factors be zero.

The relevant solution is x = 5.
