Consecutive integers = x, x+2, x+4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-%28x%2B4%29%5E2=80\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-%28x%5E2%2B16%2B8x%29=80\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2-x%5E2%2B16%2B8x=80\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16%2B8x=80\"
\n" ); document.write( "8x=64
\n" ); document.write( "x=8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8+2=10
\n" ); document.write( "8+4=12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, the 3 integers are 8, 10 and 12.
