The three consecutive integers are N, N+1, and N+2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"N%2BN%2B1%2BN%2B2=4N-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3N%2B3=4N-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"N=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "The integers are then 4,5, and 6.
\n" ); document.write( "Verify,
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2B5%2B6%29=4%284%29-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"15=16-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"15=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "True, good solution
