Let n be the smallest integer. Then
\n" ); document.write( "n(n+2)=9(n+1)-1
\n" ); document.write( "n^2+2n=9n+8
\n" ); document.write( "n^2-7n-8=0
\n" ); document.write( "(n-8)(n+1)=0
\n" ); document.write( "n=8,-1
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming positive integers, then your consecutive integers are 8,9,and 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!! \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
