CONSECUTIVE NUMBERS ARE like 5,6 so 5+1=6 if 5=x then 5+1=x+1
\n" ); document.write( "so \"The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 36\"
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B%28x%2B1%29=36\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B1=36\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=35\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x=35/2 or 17.5
\n" ); document.write( " $\"35%2F2\"$ , $\"37%2F2\"$ or $\"17.5\"$ , $\"18.5\"$ are the 2 numbers \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
