Find three consecutive integers
\n" ); document.write( "n, (n+1), (n+2)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "such that three times the sum of the first and the last is 552.
\n" ); document.write( "3(n + (n+2)) = 552
\n" ); document.write( "3(2n + 2) = 552
\n" ); document.write( "6n + 6 = 552
\n" ); document.write( "6n = 552 - 6
\n" ); document.write( "6n = 546
\n" ); document.write( "n = 546/6
\n" ); document.write( "n = 91 is the 1st integer, then obviously, 92 and 93
