Odd integers = x and x+2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x)(x+2)=143
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B2x-143=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use Quadratic Formula: \"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "a=1, b=2, c=-143\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%28-2%2B-sqrt%28%282%29%5E2-4%281%29%28-143%29%29%2F2%281%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%28-2%2B-sqrt%284%2B572%29%29%2F2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Add: \"x=%28-2%2Bsqrt%28576%29%29%2F2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x=11
\n" ); document.write( "11+2=13
\n" ); document.write( "Hence the two consective integers are 11 and 13.
\n" ); document.write( "
