Integers: n, n+1, n+2
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "2(n+2) = n-40
\n" ); document.write( "2n+4 = n-40
\n" ); document.write( "n = -44
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "n = -44
\n" ); document.write( "n+1 = -43
\n" ); document.write( "n+2 = -42
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "twice the larger:
\n" ); document.write( "-42 x 2 = -84
\n" ); document.write( "exceeds the smaller by 40
\n" ); document.write( "n = -44 and the distance from -44 to -84 is 40, this is the correct answer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
