LET X, X+1 & X+2 BE THE 3 NUMBERS.
\n" ); document.write( "X+(X+1)-(X+2)=68
\n" ); document.write( "X+X+1-X-2=68
\n" ); document.write( "X-1=68
\n" ); document.write( "X=68+1
\n" ); document.write( "X=69 ANSWER FOR THE FIRST NUMBER
\n" ); document.write( "X+1=70
\n" ); document.write( "X+2=71
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "69+70-71=68
\n" ); document.write( "139-71=68
\n" ); document.write( "68=68
\n" ); document.write( "
