\n" ); document.write( "Consecutive integers are integers that follow in sequence, each number being 1 more than the previous number, represented by \"n\", \"n+%2B1\", \"n+%2B+2\", \"n+%2B+3\", ..., where \"n\" is any integer. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let's two consecutive integers be \"n\" and \"n+%2B1\", and let's say \"%28n+%2B1n%29%3En\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given: the smaller \"n\" plus twice the larger \"n%2B1\" is \"-61\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, \"n%2B2%28n%2B1%29=-61\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"n%2B2n%2B2=-61\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"3n=-61-2\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"n=-63%2F3\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28n=-21%29\" ...the smaller integer\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"n%2B1=-21%2B1=-20\" =>\"highlight%28n%2B1=-20%29\"........ the larger integer\r
