Let x and x+2 be two consecutive odd integers. We get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%28x%2B2%29+=+195\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and then
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+2x+=+195\"$
\n" ); document.write( "setting = 0 and factoring we get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+2x+-+195+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-13%29%28x%2B15%29=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "x = 13 or
\n" ); document.write( "x = -15
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "Our two options are (13,15) and (-15,-13) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
