Lets call our integers:
x, x+1 and x+2
the product of the smaller two integers is 5 less than 5 times the largest integer: this means
x*(x+1) +5= (x+2)*5
taking things out of the brackets:
x*x+x+5= 5x+10
putting everything on one side:
x*x+x -5x +5-10= 0
calculating:
x*x+-4x -5= 0
we can put it into brackets:
(x+1)*(x-5)=0
So we have x=-1 (which can't be, it has to be positive)
or x=5, which is the answer!
A primary motivation for this clause was to validate the equality provisions contained in the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which guaranteed that all people would have rights equal to those of all citizens. As a whole, the Fourteenth Amendment marked a large shift in American constitutionalism, by applying substantially more constitutional restrictions against the states than had applied before the Civil War.
