Call the consecutive odd integers $\"n\"$ and $\"n%2B2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+%2B+n+%2B+2+=++244\"$
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2n+%2B+2+=+244\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2n+=+242\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+=+121\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The smallest integer is 121
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"121+%2B+123+=+244\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
