Let the two consecutive integers be n and (n+1)
\n" ); document.write( "Their sum is n+(n+1) = 176
\n" ); document.write( " 2n+1 = 176
\n" ); document.write( " 2n = 175
\n" ); document.write( " n = 175/2
\n" ); document.write( " n = 87.5, not an integer
\n" ); document.write( "Note. The sum of two consecutive integers cannot be an even integer, it can only be an odd integer \n" ); document.write( "
