document.write( "Question 894952: The problem I'm stuck on is as follows: \"Find three consecutive whole numbers whose sum is 133.\" I really thought the formula \"x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 133\" was the correct one, but, I keep ending up with \"x = 43.333333333333333333333.....\", which doesn't seem to satisfy the problem. What am I doing wrong? \n" ); document.write( "
