Let $\"+n+\"$ and $\"+n%2B2+\"$ be the consecutive odd numbers
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+2+%2B+2n+=+4n+-+27+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n+%2B+2+=+4n+-+27+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+2+=+31+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers are 29 and 31
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+31+%2B+2%2A29+=+4%2A29+-+27+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+31+%2B+58+=+116+-+27+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+89+=+89+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
