the first number is x and the second number is \"%28x%2B2%29\" because consecutive odd numbers always increase by two.. the we get the following equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-%28x%2B2%29%5E2=80\" then \"x%5E2-x%5E2%2B4x%2B4=80\" then we get \"4x%2B4=80\" then we get \"4x=76\" so x is 19... so the numbers are 19 and 21
