Let the smaller integer be x. \n" ); document.write( "accordingly, \n" ); document.write( " x(x + 1) = 19 + [x + (x+1)] \n" ); document.write( " => x^2 + x = 19 + 2x + 1 \n" ); document.write( " => x^2 - x - 20 = 0 \n" ); document.write( " => x^2 - 5x + 4x - 20 =0 \n" ); document.write( " => x(x-5)+4(x-5)=0 \n" ); document.write( " => (x-5)(x+4)=0 \n" ); document.write( "therefore, x = 5 or -4 \n" ); document.write( "The integers are : (5,6) & (-4,-3) [ANS.] \n" ); document.write( " |
