Let the consecutive integers be:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+\"$ , $\"+n%2B1+\"$ , $\"+n+%2B2+\"$ , and $\"+n%2B3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+n+%2B+1+%2B+n+%2B+2+%2B+n+%2B+3+=+154+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4n+%2B+6+=+154+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4n+=+148+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+37+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+1+=+38+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+2+=+39+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+3+=+40+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The 3rd number is 39
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+37+%2B+38+%2B+39+%2B+40+=+154+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+154+=+154+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
