The product of two consecutive odd integers added to their sum is 119. What are the two integers?
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Call the 1st one x, the 2nd is x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "x*(x+2) + x + x+2 = 119
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+4x+%2B+2+=+119\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+117+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(x + 13)*(x - 9) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = -13 --> -13 & -11
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9 --> 9 & 11
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "check both answers
\n" ); document.write( "-13*-11 - 24 = 143 - 24 = 119
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "9*11 + 20 = 119\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
