5 consecutive integers:
\n" ); document.write( "n, n + 1, n + 2, n + 3, n + 4.
\n" ); document.write( "Sum of first, third and fifth = 99
\n" ); document.write( "n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 99
\n" ); document.write( "Remove brackets:
\n" ); document.write( "n + n + 2 + n + 4 = 99
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "3n + 6 = 99
\n" ); document.write( "3n = 99 - 6
\n" ); document.write( "2n = 93
\n" ); document.write( "n = 31.
\n" ); document.write( "5 consecutive integers:
\n" ); document.write( "31, 32, 33, 34, 35.
