Let x be the first integer and x+1 be the second integer
\n" ); document.write( "we have
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+%2B+x+%2B+1+=+-205\"$
\n" ); document.write( "simplifying, we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+%2B+1+=+-205\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtracting 1 we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+-206\"$
\n" ); document.write( "dividing we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+-103\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "we have -103 and -102
\n" ); document.write( "The larger is -102 \n" ); document.write( "
