1st integer = x
\n" ); document.write( "2nd integer = x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "3rd integer = x + 2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2A%28x%2B1%29+=+%28x+%2B+2%29+%2B+23\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+x+=+x+%2B+25\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%2B+x+-+x+-+25+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+-+25+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x+-+5%29%2A%28x+%2B+5%29+=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x - 5 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 or x = -5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so,there are 2 answers:
\n" ); document.write( "1st integer = x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "2nd integer = x + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6
\n" ); document.write( "3rd integer = x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "1st integer = x = -5
\n" ); document.write( "2nd integer = x + 1 = -5 + 1 = -4
\n" ); document.write( "3rd integer = x + 2 = -5 + 2 = -3
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
