Find two consecutive odd integers such that their product is 35 more than 8 times their sum.
\n" ); document.write( "

Let smaller integer be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then larger is: S + 2
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: S(S + 2) = 8(S + S + 2) + 35
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "(S - 17)(S + 3) = 0 ------- Factoring the above trinomial
\n" );
document.write( "Smaller integer, or S = 17          OR          S = - 3\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "If the smaller integer = , then larger integer = 17 + 2, or     
\n" );
document.write( "However, if the smaller integer = , then larger integer = - 3 + 2, or  \n" );
