\n" ); document.write( "

Let smallest integer be S
\n" );
document.write( "Then others are: S + 2, and S + 4
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, S + S + 2 = S + 4 + 16
\n" );
document.write( "Solve this for S, the smallest integer
\n" );
document.write( "Add 2 to S to get middle integer
\n" );
document.write( "Add 4 to S to get largest, OR
\n" );
document.write( "Just count by 2s after getting the smallest, to get middle and largest. \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
