\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the first integer be n. Then the next number is n+1 since they're consecutive.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, $\"n%2B%28n%2B1%29=145\"$ . Or, $\"2n%2B1=145\"$ . Or, $\"2n=144\"$ . So, $\"n=72\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Verify: $\"72%2B%2872%2B1%29+=+72%2B73=145\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
