Two consecutive numbers are x and x+1 so if their sum is 113 it is\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+%28x%2B1%29%5E2+=+113\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+x%5E2+%2B+2x+%2B+1+=+113\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2+%2B+2x+-+112+=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solutions for x in this quadratic equation are given as\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28-2+%2B-+sqrt%28+2%5E2-4%2A2%2A%28-112%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A2%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It gives us x = 7 or x = -8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So numbers are 7 and 8, or -8 and -7.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check1: \"7%5E2%2B8%5E2=+49+%2B+64+=+113\", OK
\n" ); document.write( "Check2: \"%28-8%29%5E2+%2B+%28-7%29%5E2+=+64+%2B+49+=+113\", OK\r
