\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%281%2F5%29%2A%28+n+%2B+n+%2B+1+%29+=+n+-+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+%2B+1+=+5%2A%28+n+-+10+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+%2B+1+=+5n+-+50+\"$

\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+17+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+1+=+18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "the integers are 17 and 18
