Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Three consecutive integers =>
\n" ); document.write( "n, n + 1 and n + 2.
\n" ); document.write( "n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 2(n) + 16
\n" ); document.write( "Remove brackets:
\n" ); document.write( "n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 2n + 16
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "n + n + n - 2n = 16 - 3
\n" ); document.write( "n = 13
\n" ); document.write( "Three consecutive integers =>
\n" ); document.write( "13, 14 and 15.
