Let one integer = x.
\n" ); document.write( "So other integer = (x+1).
\n" ); document.write( "Their sum:
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+1) = 143
\n" ); document.write( "or 2x + 1 = 143
\n" ); document.write( "or 2x = 143 - 1 = 142
\n" ); document.write( "or x = 142/2 = 71\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the nos. are 71 and (71 + 1 =) 72. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
