Let's call those 3 integers $\"n-1\"$ , $\"n\"$ and $\"n%2B1\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "If their sum is $\"204\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28n-1%29%2Bn%2B%28n%2B1%29=204\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n-1%2Bn%2Bn%2B1=204\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2Bn%2Bn=204\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n=204\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=204%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28n=68%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the three consecutive integers are
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n-1=68-1=highlight%2867%29\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=highlight%2868%29\"$ , and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2B1=68%2B1=highlight%2869%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "If their sum is $\"-204\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28n-1%29%2Bn%2B%28n%2B1%29=-204\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n-1%2Bn%2Bn%2B1=-204\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2Bn%2Bn=-204\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n=-204\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=-204%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28n=-68%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and the three consecutive integers are
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n-1=-68-1=highlight%28-69%29\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=highlight%28-68%29\"$ , and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2B1=-68%2B1=highlight%28-67%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
