You can put this solution on YOUR website!
cosecutive itegers are for example 1 2 3 4 5 6 7...
\n" ); document.write( "if i stat 1=x then in order for me to get to it would be x+1 then to get from 1 to 3 it would be x+2
\n" ); document.write( "so it would look like x, x+1, x+2 which for this example x=1 and it looks like this 1, 1+1, 1+2 which you can see is 1, 2, 3
\n" ); document.write( "___________________
\n" ); document.write( "so for the problem 3 cosecutive itegers would be
\n" ); document.write( "x, x+1, x+2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%29%2B%28x%2B1%29%2B%28x%2B2%29=72\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%2B3=72\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=69\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=23\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so 23, 24, 25
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "23+24+25=72
\n" ); document.write( "72=72
\n" ); document.write( "correct \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
