x = integer
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2-5x=63
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 - 5x - 63 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "( + )( - ) Mixed sign as the - 63
\n" ); document.write( "multiples of 63: 3,21; 7,9; 63,1
\n" ); document.write( "Thinking 2 times one of these multiples, minus the other member of the pair needs to give 5, I use 7,9.
\n" ); document.write( "Where 2x7=14-9=5
\n" ); document.write( "Since the 5 is negative, apply the minus to the 7.
\n" ); document.write( "(2x + 9)(x - 7)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x - 7 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x=7 OK
\n" ); document.write( "2x+9=0
\n" ); document.write( "2x=-9
\n" ); document.write( "x=-9/2 NO\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The integer is 7
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
