We'll call one integer x.
\n" ); document.write( "The other integer is x+1. So we have:
\n" ); document.write( "x+x+1= 31
\n" ); document.write( "2x+1= 31 subtract 1, both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2x= 30 divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x= 15 this is one number, and we said the other is:
\n" ); document.write( "x+1= 16 There you have it, those are your two numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "15+16= 31 \n" ); document.write( "
