Let $\"n\"$ be the smallest integer
\n" ); document.write( "Then $\"n+%2B+1\"$ is the next larger
\n" ); document.write( "And $\"n+%2B+2\"$ is the next larger
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+%2B+n+%2B+1+%2B+n+%2B+2+=+-114\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n+=+-117\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+=+-39\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+%2B+1+=+-38\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+%2B+2+=+-37\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The consecutive integers are -37, -38, and -39
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+%2B+n+%2B+1+%2B+n+%2B+2+=+-114\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-39+-+39+%2B+1+-+39+%2B+2+=+-114\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-117+%2B+3+=+-114\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-117+=+-117\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
