Complete the following activity to solve the given word problem. The Sum of squares of two consecutive even natural numbers is 244, then find those numbers.

Activity: Let the first even natural number be x
Therefore its consecutive even natural number will be = (______)
By the given condition,
x2 + (x + 2)2 = 244
x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 – (______) = 0
2x2 + 4x – 240 = 0
x2 + 2x – 120 = 0
x2 + (______) – (______) – 120 = 0
x(x + 12) – (______) (x + 12) = 0
(x + 12)(x – 10) = 0
x = (______)/x = 10

Solution:
We need one of the solutions of the quadratic equation as 5.
Then we can take another root as any number like a positive or negative number or zero. Here I am taking another root of the quadratic equation as 2.
Then we can form a word problem as below,
