Let x = First Number
\n" ); document.write( "Let x+2 = Second Consecutive Number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x is three times the lesser number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x+%2B+%28x%2B2%29+=+58\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x+%2B+2+=+58\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x+=+56\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+14\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First Number is $\"highlight%2814%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Second Number is $\"highlight%2816%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Proof: 14*3 = 42 + 16 = 58.
