Let the 3 consecutive integers be:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+\"$ , $\"+n%2B1+\"$ , and $\"+n%2B2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+%2B+n+%2B+1+%2B+n+%2B+2+=+150+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n+%2B+3+=+150+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n+=+147+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n+=+49+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n%2B1+=+50+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+n%2B2+=+51+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3n+%2B+3+=+150+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3%2A49++%2B+3+=+150+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+147+%2B+3+=+150+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+150+=+150+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+49+%2B+50+=+99+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "the sum of the 2 smaller integers is 99 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
