let the 3 consecutive nos are x-1 ,x , x+1
\n" ); document.write( "the sum of three times the first, and twice the third is twenty less than six times the second.
\n" ); document.write( "so 3(x-1)+2(x+1)=6x-20
\n" ); document.write( "or 3x-3+2x+2=6x-20
\n" ); document.write( "or 5x-1=6x-20
\n" ); document.write( "or x=20-1=19
\n" ); document.write( "so the nos are 18,19,20
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
