\n" ); document.write( "F=first integer; S=second integer=F+2; T=third integer=F+4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "F+S+T=2F-8
\n" ); document.write( "F+(F+2)+(F+4)=2F-8
\n" ); document.write( "3F+6=2F-8
\n" ); document.write( "F=-14 . ANSWER 1: The first integer is -14.
\n" ); document.write( "S=F+2=-14+2=-12 . ANSWER 2: The second integer is -12.
