\n" );
document.write( "Let first integer be F
\n" );
document.write( "Then 2nd is: F + 2, and 3rd is: F + 4
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, 2(F)(F + 2) = (F + 2)(F + 4) + 7
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "Solve for F, the 1st integer, and then determine the other 2 integers. Note that 2 values will ensue for
\n" );
document.write( "the 1st integer, F, thus 2 values for the 2nd and 3rd integers. \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
