Let the three consecutive integers be x, x+1, and x+2. Then
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+1) = 3*(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 1 = 3x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "-x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "x = -5
\n" ); document.write( "The three consecutive integers are -5, -4, and -3.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
