I think that you might have missed part of the question. What you have written doesn't make sense.
\n" ); document.write( "Perhaps you meant to write:
\n" ); document.write( "2 consecutive integers whose sum is the square root of 85. If this is what you meant, then read on:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the first integer, then (x+1) is the next consecutive integer. You can write:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28x%2B%28x%2B1%29%29+=+85\"$ Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%282x%2B1%29+=+85\"$ Square both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B1+=+7225\"$ Subtract 1 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+7224\"$ Divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+3612\"$ and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B1+=+3613\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two consecutive integers would be: 3612 and 3613 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
