\n" ); document.write( "

Let smallest integer be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then others are:
\n" );
document.write( "S + 2
\n" );
document.write( "S + 4
\n" );
document.write( "S + 6
\n" );
document.write( "From the description. S + S + 2 = 4(S + 6)
\n" );
document.write( " 2S + 2 = 4S + 24
\n" );
document.write( "2S - 4S = 24 - 2
\n" );
document.write( "   - 2S = 22
\n" );
document.write( "S, or smallest integer = , or - 11
\n" );
document.write( "Third integer: - 11 + 4, or  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
