\n" ); document.write( "Let the first number (the smallest one) be x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We have x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3) = 130
\n" ); document.write( " 4x + 6 = 130
\n" ); document.write( " 4x = 124
\n" ); document.write( " x = 124/4 = 31\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the 3rd number (=x+2) is \"highlight%2833%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "—
\n" ); document.write( "Check: 31+32+33+34 = 63+67 = 130 (ok)
\n" ); document.write( "
