document.write( "Find two consecutive integers,  whose product is 72.
\n" );
document.write( " x(x+1) = 72
\n" );
document.write( " x^2 + x - 72 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "(x+9)(x-8) = 0 , x = -9  or x = 8
\n" );
document.write( "two consecutive integers are:  -9, -8   or  8, 9
\n" );
document.write( "There are no  two consecutive even integers whose product is 72\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Find two consecutive even integers , whose product is 168. 
\n" );
document.write( " x(x+2) = 168
\n" );
document.write( " x^2 + 2x - 168 = 0 
\n" );
document.write( "(x+14)(x-12) = 0. x = -14   or x = 12
\n" );
document.write( "two consecutive even integers are:  -14, -12   or 12, 14 \n" );
