You can put this solution on YOUR website!
CONSECUTIVE Integers are n and n+1.
\n" ); document.write( "n and n+2 are NOT consecutive integers.
\n" ); document.write( "We not know yet if n is odd or is even. If n odd, then n and n+2 are two consecutive odd integers; and if n is even, then n and n+2 are two consecutive even integers. What YOU have is not yet clear.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Trying your number and expression,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2Fn%2B1%2F%28n%2B2%29=29%2F420\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Do the algebra and find quadratic $\"29n%5E2-782n-840=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and use of general solution for quadratic equation,\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=%28782%2B-+842%29%2F58\"$ ...... The PLUS form will be $\"highlight%28n=28%29\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your two integers, which are NOT consecutive are then 28 and 30. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
