\r\n" );
document.write( "Let the 3 integers be (n-2), n and (n+2)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Sum of 1st and 3rd = \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "9 times second = 9*n\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the equation is \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "or \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( " i.e. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Check: If n = 16, the 3 numbers are 14, 16 and 18.\r\n" );
document.write( "5 times sum of 14 and 18 = 32*5 = 160\r\n" );
document.write( "9 times 16 = 144\r\n" );
document.write( "160 is 16 more than 144. Correct!\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hope it's clear!\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
