LET X, X+2, X+4 & X+6 BE THE FOUR INTEGERS.
\n" ); document.write( "4(X+6)-(X+2)/2=9
\n" ); document.write( "4X+24-(X+2)/2=9
\n" ); document.write( "4X-(X+2)/2=9-24
\n" ); document.write( "(2*4X-X-2)/2=-15
\n" ); document.write( "8X-X-2=-30
\n" ); document.write( "7X=-30+2
\n" ); document.write( "7X=-28
\n" ); document.write( "X=-28/7
\n" ); document.write( "X=-4 ANS FOR THE SMALLEST INTEGER.
\n" ); document.write( "-4=2=-2 FOR THE NEXT INTEGER.
\n" ); document.write( "-4=4=0 FOR THE THIRD INTEGER.
\n" ); document.write( "-4+6=2 FOR THE LARGEST INTEGER.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "4*2-(-2/2)=9
\n" ); document.write( "8-(-1)=9
\n" ); document.write( "8+1=9
\n" ); document.write( "9=9\r
