a)lets call the smaller integer a
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b)you must add 2 to get to the next highest odd integer
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "c)2nd integer is a+2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "d)a+(a+2)=56
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2a+2=54
