Let's x represents the first odd integer

The next consecutive integer would be represented as x+2.

So x and x+2 being multiplied together will give us 1443:

(x)(x+2)=1443

x^2+2x=1443

x^2+2x-1443=0

By solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x will equal to 37 and -39.

Since the problem says "integers", so I'm assuming two pairs of consecutive integers would be ok.

With that said you 1st pair will be: 37,39

Your second pair will be: -37,-39.
