the sum of an integer squared and four times the integer is 45 find the integers

an integer squared means:
n%5E2 
four times the integer means:
4n 
the sum of an integer squared and four times the integer is 45 means:
n%5E2%2B4n=45 
...which we will solve... 
n%5E2%2B4n=45
n%5E2%2B4n-45=0 
9 and -5 will multiply to -45 and subtract to 4... 
%28n-5%29%28n%2B9%29=0
so that n=5 or n=-9
