let x be the smallest number
\n" ); document.write( "(x)(x+1) = (x+2)+23
\n" ); document.write( "because the product of first two numbers is equal to the third number plus 23
\n" ); document.write( "so now solve it
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+x = x+25
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 25
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "So the three numbers are 5,6 and 7 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
