1.
\n" );
document.write( "Let smallest integer be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then middle and largest are: S + 2, and S + 4, respectively
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: S + S + 2 = 3(S + 4) + 7
\n" );
document.write( "2S + 2 = 3S + 12 + 7
\n" );
document.write( "2S + 2 = 3S + 19
\n" );
document.write( "2S - 3S = 19 - 2
\n" );
document.write( "- S = 17
\n" );
document.write( "S, or smallest integer = , or 
\n" );
document.write( "\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "You need to do the 2nd by yourself. It'll be good practice for you. \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
