x = first integer
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 = second integer
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x +1)=145
\n" ); document.write( "2x+1=145
\n" ); document.write( "2x=144
\n" ); document.write( "x=72
\n" ); document.write( "72+1=73
\n" ); document.write( "first integer = 72
\n" ); document.write( "second integer = 73
\n" ); document.write( "area of trapezoid =
\n" ); document.write( "a = \"1%2F2\"h(b\"1\"+b\"2\")
\n" ); document.write( "224 = \"1%2F2\"16(20+b\"2\")
\n" ); document.write( "224 = 8(20 +b\"2\")
\n" ); document.write( "224= 160+8b\"2\"
\n" ); document.write( "64 = 8b\"2\"
\n" ); document.write( "8 = b\"2\"
\n" ); document.write( ":)
