\n" ); document.write( "the first of three $\"consecutive\"$ integers are: $\"x\"$ , $\"x%2B1\"$ ,and $\"x%2B2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the sum is $\"132\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, you have $\"x%2B%28x%2B1%29%2B%28x%2B2%29=132\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Bx%2B1%2Bx%2B2=132\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%2B3=132\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=132-3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=129\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=129%2F3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=43\"$ ....first number.........George's number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=44\"$ ....second number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=45\"$ ....third number\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
