two integers are x and y\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) x + y = xy - 23
\n" ); document.write( "0 = xy - x - y - 23
\n" ); document.write( "24 = (x-1)(y-1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x-1=4, y-1=6, so the two integers are 5 and 7\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) x + y = xy -28
\n" ); document.write( "0 = xy - x - y - 28
\n" ); document.write( "29 = (x-1)(y-1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x-1=1, y-1=29, so the two integers are 2 and 30\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c) x + y = xy - 73
\n" ); document.write( "0 = xy - x - y - 73
\n" ); document.write( "74 = (x-1)(y-1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x-1 = 2, y-1 = 39, so the two integers are 3 and 40\r
\n" ); document.write( "
