Let the consecutive odd integers be x and (x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+2)=143
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+2x-143=0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+13x-11x-143=0
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+13)-11(x+13)=0
\n" ); document.write( "(x-11)(x+13)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x=11 is the only solution.
\n" ); document.write( "The two consecutive odd integers are 11 and 13. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
