I'm no good at math, either. That's why I learned to use a computer to test all the possibilities very quickly. Like this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. >>> l = range(10)
  2. >>> for i, x in enumerate(l):
  3. ...     if (x**2) + (l[i + 1]**2) == 85:
  4. ...         print x, l[i + 1]
  5. ...         break
