Let's say the first number is "a"
the next consecutive can just be "a+1" and the next, you guessed it, "a+2"
the two smaller ones are a and a+1, the larger one is a+2
now, the product of "a" and "a+1" equals 5 times "a+2" but less by 5
thus a(a + 1) = 5(a + 2) - 5 <----- solve for "a"

<u>Compound Interest Formula</u>

where:
- A = final amount
- P = principal amount
- r = interest rate (in decimal form)
- n = number of times interest applied per time period
- t = number of time periods elapsed
Given:
- A = $17,474.00
- P = $7,790.00
- r = 15% = 0.15
- n = 12
- t = number of years
Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for t:






Therefore, the money was in the account for 5 years and 5 months (to the nearest month).
