sum of 2 consecutive multiples of 3 is 69. find them.

document.write( "\"2 consecutive multiples of 3\"\r\n" );

\r\n" );
document.write( "So,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3n + 3(n+1) = 69\r\n" );

document.write( "Solve that and get the the two consecutive integers,\r\n" );
document.write( "then get the two consecutive multiples of 3.\r\n" );
