hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Three consecutive integers
\n" ); document.write( "n, n + 1, and n + 2
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the least and greatest
\n" ); document.write( "of three consecutive integers is 72.
\n" ); document.write( "n + n + 2 = 72
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "n + n = 72 - 2
\n" ); document.write( "2n = 70
\n" ); document.write( "n = 35
\n" ); document.write( "Three consecutive integers
\n" ); document.write( "35, 36 and 37
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
