If they are consecutive we can write the numbers as n,n+1,n+2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So n+1+n+2+n = 369 \n" ); document.write( "3n+3 = 369 \n" ); document.write( "3n = 366 Subtracting 3 on both sides \n" ); document.write( "n = 122 Dividing by 3 throughout\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n+1 = 123 \n" ); document.write( "n+2 = 124\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check: \n" ); document.write( "122+123+124 = 369 Yay!! \n" ); document.write( " |
