Let the two consecutive integers be n and n+1. Then:
\n" ); document.write( "n(n+1)=4(n+n+1)-16
\n" ); document.write( "n²+n=8n-12
\n" ); document.write( "n²-7n+12=0
\n" ); document.write( "(n-4)(n-3)=0
\n" ); document.write( "n=4,3
\n" ); document.write( "The two consecutive integers are 3 and 4. ☺☺☺☺ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
