Let the consecutive odd numbers be
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+\"$ and $\"+n+%2B+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n%2A%28+n+%2B+2+%29+=+6723+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n%5E2+%2B+2n+=+6723+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Complete the square
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n%5E2+%2B+2n+%2B+%282%2F2%29%5E2+=+6723+%2B+%282%2F2%29%5E2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n%5E2+%2B+2n+%2B+1++=+6724+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+n+%2B+1+%29%5E2+=+82%5E2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+1+=+82+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+81+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+2+=+83+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The larger number is 83
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+81%2A83+=+6723+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6723+=+6723+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
