n is the first number.
\n" ); document.write( "n + 1 is the second number.
\n" ); document.write( "n + 2 is the third number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n + (n + 1) = (n + 2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for n.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract n from both sides of the equation and subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n = 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's your answer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n = 1
\n" ); document.write( "n+1 = 2
\n" ); document.write( "n+3 = 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 + 2 = 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "answer is confirmed as good.\r
