use a let statement 
first
let x and x + 2 be the number so you write it like this
let x = the first consecutive integer
let x + 2 = the second consecutive integer

second
x(x+2)=323
x^2 + 2x = 323
        -323  -323
x^2 + 2x -323 = 0

third
try to factor -323 so it is 19 and -17
(x + 19) (x - 17) = 0
x = 19 
x = -17

hope this help
