Let the consecutive odd integers be:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+\"$ and $\"+n+%2B+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2A%28+n+%2B+2+%29+=+3n+-+13+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2n+%2B+4+=+3n+-+13+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+17+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+2+=+19+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The consecutive odd integers are 17 and 19
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2A%28+17+%2B+2+%29+=+3%2A17+-+13+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+38+=+51+-+13+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+38+=+38+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
