\n" );
document.write( "Let first integer be F
\n" );
document.write( "The 2nd and 3rd are: F + 2, and F + 4, respectively
\n" );
document.write( "Then: 2(F + F + 4) = F + 2 + 15
\n" );
document.write( "2(2F + 4) = F + 17
\n" );
document.write( "4F + 8 = F + 17
\n" );
document.write( "4F - F = 17 - 8
\n" );
document.write( "3F = 9
\n" );
document.write( "F, or 1st = , or 
\n" );
document.write( "2nd integer: 3 + 2, or 
\n" );
document.write( "3rd integer: 3 + 4, or  \n" );
