Assuming these odd,

\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%2B4=3n\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4=2n\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "But is even; not odd\r

\n" ); document.write( "2n+1, 2n+3, 2n+5, all odd consecutive numbers for any integer n;\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2n%2B5=3%282n%2B1%29\"$
