\n" ); document.write( "Consecutive integers----> $\"system%28x=1st+number%2Cx%2B1=2nd%2Cx%2B2=3rd%2CTotal=40%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Bx%2B2=40\"$ ,condition 1----> Sum of Smallest & Largest (1st & 3rd)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=40-2=38\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"cross%282%29x%2Fcross%282%29=cross%2838%2919%2Fcross2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=19\"$ , Smallest
\n" ); document.write( " $\"19%2B1=20\"$ , 2nd
\n" ); document.write( " $\"19%2B2=21\"$ , Largest
\n" ); document.write( "Check, go back condition
\n" ); document.write( "Sum is 40:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"19%2B21=40\"$
