\n" ); document.write( "x-1, x, x+1, and x+2 are the integers\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+%28x%2B1%29%5E2+=+244+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+%2B+%28x%5E2%2B4x%2B4%29+=+244\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x%5E2+%2B+4x+-+240+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2+%2B2x+-+120+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28x%2B12%29%28x-10%29+=+0+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 10 ==> the four integers are 9,10,11,and 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But what about the 2nd solution, x = -12?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = -12 ==> the four integers are -13,-12,-11, and -10 (this is also a solution) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
