let the integers be x & x+1
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+1)= x+x+1+71
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+x=2x+72
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-x-72=0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-9x+8x-72=0
\n" ); document.write( "x(x-9)+8(x-9)=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-9)(x+8)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x= 9 OR -8
\n" ); document.write( "the integers are 9,10 OR -9,-10 \n" ); document.write( "
