Call the 1st odd number $\"n\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The next consecutive odd number
\n" ); document.write( "will be $\"+n%2B2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The next even number will be $\"+n%2B3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+n+%2B+2+%2B+n+%2B+3+=+200+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n+%2B+5+=+200+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n+=+195+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+65+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+2+=+67+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+3+=+68+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The even number is 68
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
