You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Well, you might think that you need 3 variables, but you actually don't!
\n" ); document.write( "You only need 1 variable.
\n" ); document.write( "N, N+1, N+2
\n" ); document.write( "If you don't believe me, try any number.
\n" ); document.write( "Let's say 5
\n" ); document.write( "We know that the next two numbers will be 6 and 7
\n" ); document.write( "5, 5+1, 5+2
\n" ); document.write( "5, 6, 7
\n" ); document.write( "Now that we got that taken care of, you need to make it a mathematical equation.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"N%2BN%2B1%2BN%2B2=114\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3N%2B3=114\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3N=111\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"N=37\"$
\n" ); document.write( "That means the three numbers are 37, 38, 39.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps! \n" ); document.write( "
