Let the first integer be I
\n" ); document.write( "The 3 integers are then given by I, I+1 and I+2
\n" ); document.write( "You are told $\"I+%2B+%28I%2B2%29+=+40\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2I+%2B+2+=+40\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2I+=+38\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"I+=+19\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the 3 integers are 19, 20 and 21 \n" ); document.write( "
