Let x & x+1 be the 2 integers.
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+1)-5=x^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+x-5=x^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-x^2+x=5
\n" ); document.write( "x=5 ans. for the smaller integer.
\n" ); document.write( "5+1=6 ans. for the larger integer.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "5*6-5=5^2
\n" ); document.write( "30-5=25
\n" ); document.write( "25=25
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
