Let x=the first integer
\n" ); document.write( "Then x+1=the second\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we are told that:
\n" ); document.write( " x(x+1)=156 get rid of parens\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2+x=156 subtract 156 from both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2+x-156=156-156 or
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+x-156=0 quadratic in standard form and it can be factored:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+13)(x-12)=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=-13------------first integer
\n" ); document.write( "x+1=-13+1=-12-----------other integer
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "x=12-------------------first integer
\n" ); document.write( "x+1=12+1=13-----------other integer\r
