Consecutive Integers---> $\"system%28x=1st%2Cx%2B1=2nd%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Condition;
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the smaller and twice the larger is 29:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2%28x%2B1%29=29\"$ , EQN 1
\n" ); document.write( "Continuing,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2x%2B2=29\"$ -----> $\"3x=29-2=27\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"cross%283%29x%2Fcross%283%29=cross%2827%299%2Fcross%283%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x=9%29\"$ , 1st Integer
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9%2B1=highlight%2810%29\"$ , 2nd Integer
\n" ); document.write( "Check, going back EQN 1:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9%2B2%2810%29=29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9%2B20=29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"29=29\"$ good.
