On the right track:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%28x%2B4%29=2x%2B38\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then solve:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B12=2x%2B38\" Distribute the 3.
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=2x%2B26\" Move the 12 by subtracting it.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=26\" move the 2x by subtracting it.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, the 3 integers are 26, 28, 30.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
