Let x = first integer,,,,(x+1) = 2nd integer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+1) = 6 {x+(x+1)} -6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 +x = 12x +6-6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 -11x =0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x (x-11)=0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x=0,,11,,,,0,1,,,,,,11,12
\n" ); document.write( ",
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(x=11,12),,11*12 = 6(11+12) -6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "132 = 6*23-6 = 138-6=132,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(x=0,1), 0*1 = 6(1) -6,,,,0=0,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
