You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I read it this way:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+%2B+%28+x+%2B+2+%29%5E2+=+x+%2B+2+%2B+67+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+%2B+x%5E2+%2B+4x+%2B+4+=+x+%2B+69+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x%5E2+%2B+3x+-+65+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use quadratic formula:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+b+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+c+=+-65+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+3%5E2-4%2A2%2A%28-65%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A2%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+9+%2B+520+%29%29+%2F+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+529+%29%29+%2F+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28+-3+%2B+23+%29+%2F+4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+20%2F4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28+-3+-+23+%29+%2F+4+\" ( can't use the negative solution )
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The consecutive odd integers are: 5 and 7
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+%2B+%28+x+%2B+2+%29%5E2+=+x+%2B+2+%2B+67+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5%5E2+%2B+%28+5+%2B+2+%29%5E2+=+5+%2B+2+%2B+67+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+25+%2B+49+=+74+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+74+=+74+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
