\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the 1st number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"the second of 3 numbers is 6 more then the first.\"
\n" ); document.write( "(x+6) = 2nd number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\" The third number is twice the first.\"
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 3rd number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " the sum of the three numbers is 26.
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+6) + 2x = 26
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " Find the three numbers, I think you can do that now \n" ); document.write( "
