\n" ); document.write( "Let:
\n" ); document.write( "N=first integer; N+2=second integer
\n" ); document.write( " $\"N%28N%2B2%29=168\"$ Subtract 168 from each side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"N%5E2%2B2N-168=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28N-12%29%28N%2B14%29=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"N-12=0\"$ $\"or\"$ $\"N%2B14=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"N=12\"$ $\"or\"$ $\"N=-14\"$
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER 1: The first positive integer is 12.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "N+2=12+2=14
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER 2: The second integer is 14
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK:
\n" ); document.write( "Product=168
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2812%29%2814%29=168\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"168=168\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
