We have three numbers x, y, z
\n" ); document.write( "1) x + 5x + x - 12 = 51
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 63
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9, y = 45, z = -3
\n" ); document.write( "2) x + 2x-3 = 18
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 21
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7, y = 11
\n" ); document.write( "3) x + x+1 + x+2 = 4x - 12
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 3 = 4x - 12
\n" ); document.write( "x = 15
\n" ); document.write( "three consecutive integers are 15, 16, 17
\n" ); document.write( "note that 15 + 16 + 17 = 48 and
\n" ); document.write( "4 times 15 minus 12 = 48
\n" ); document.write( "our answer checks\r
