The product of two consecutive integers is 9 less than 9 times their sum. Find the integers.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "1st: x
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: x+1
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+1) = 9(x + x+1)+9
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x = 9(2x+1)+9
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x = 18x+18
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 -17x -18 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-18)(x+1) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Positive solution:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 18
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 = 19
\n" ); document.write( "=============
