There are no two-digit numbers, an integer and the succeeding integer, for which your situation would ever be true

Think about what you are asking here...
= sqrt ( x + x² )
= sqrt ( x (x + 1) )

So you are multiplying an integer and the next consecutive integer. As long as x is greater than zero, the square root will always be between the two integers, thus never an integer itself. in fact, as x increases, you get closer and closer to x + ½, so it will never be an integer.

The answer is there are no 2-digit integers with this property.

There are none, sqrt((x+1)x) is never an integer, unless x=0.
