Here is the word problem:
The product of two consecutive odd integers is 143. Find all possible such integers.
Here is a demo of me working through the problem.
You might be asking yourself where the four parts are? I was focused on explaining in the demo, but on a test we want to be more careful about our presentation of the solution. Here are the four parts of the answer that I want to make sure are on my paper before I turn it in.

- Part 1: Defining the Variable x is the first integer
- Part 2: Writing the Equation, Inequality, or System of Equations x (x+2) = 143
- Part 3: Writing the Solution to the Equation, Inequality, or System of Equations x = 11 or -13
- Part 4: Write the Answer to Your Question The integers are either the pair 11 and 13 or the pair -11 and -13
