\n" ); document.write( "

Let the larger integer be L
\n" );
document.write( "Then smaller is: L - 2
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "Factor this trinomial, set each factor equal to 0, and then obtain the value(s) for L, the larger integer.
\n" );
document.write( "Ignore the negative value, as L, or larger integer should be positive (> 0). \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
