x is the first number
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 is the second number
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 is the third number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1/3 * (x+1+x+2) = 23
\n" ); document.write( "simplify to get:
\n" ); document.write( "1/3 * (2x+3) = 23
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x+3 = 69
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 3 from both sides of the equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 66
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of the eqution by 2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 33
\n" ); document.write( "first number is 33
\n" ); document.write( "second number is 34
\n" ); document.write( "third number is 35
\n" ); document.write( "34 + 35 = 69
\n" ); document.write( "1/3 of 69 = 23
\n" ); document.write( "those are your number.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
