\n" );
document.write( "Are you right? Just check it!
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "Yes, it is, so you are correct! Good job!!
\n" );
document.write( "However, when you factored the trinomial: , you should've gotten: (x - 9)(x + 14) = 0, not (x + 9)(x + 14) = 0. 
\n" );
document.write( "This would've led to the 1st or smallest integer being - 9 (odd), or - 14 (even). \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
