The numbers must be negative to sum
\n" ); document.write( "up to $\"+-104+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+n+\"$ = larger odd integer
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+-+2+\"$ is the next smaller consecutive odd integer
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+n+-+2+=+-104+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+=+-104+%2B2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+=+-102+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+-51+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+-+2+=+-53+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "the numbers are -51 and -53 \n" ); document.write( "
