let smallest number be x.
\n" ); document.write( "Then we have x+2, x+4 and x+6 successively.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, x(x+2) = (x+4)(x+6) - 112
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2%2B2x+=+x%5E2+%2B+10x+%2B+24+-+112+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E2%2B2x+=+x%5E2+%2B+10x+-+88+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+=+10x+-+88+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-8x+=+-+88+\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = (-88)/(-8)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, we have 11,13,15 and 17\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "CHECK:
\n" ); document.write( "11*13 is 143
\n" ); document.write( "15*17 is 255\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and 255-143 is 112: correct\r
\n" ); document.write( "
