Four times the sum of three consecutive odd integers is seven hundred sixty-five less than three times the product of the larger

two numbers. What are the three integers?
this was my initial answer to the question:
(x-2), x, (x+2)

4((x+2) + x+ (x-2))=3((x+2)(x)) – 765

4(3x)=3x2+6x-765

4x=x2+2x-255

X2-2x-255=0

X2-17x+15x-255=0

X(x-17)+15(x-17)=0

(x+15)(x-17)=0

(x-17)=0

X=17
however it was sent back to me with:
'You should end up with 2 values for x. You then need to write the two sets of three integers.'

I am unsure as to what i am supposed to do with this now :/
Thanks

Answer:

The consecutive odd integers are (15, 17, 19) or (-17, -15, -13).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive odd integers be: x-2,x\ and \ x+2

The condition given is:

4[x-2+x+x+2]=3x(x+2)-765

Solve this for <em>x</em> as follows:

4[x-2+x+x+2]=3x(x+2)-765\\4\times 3x=3x^{2}+6x-765\\3x^{2}-6x-765=0\\x^{2}-2x-255=0\\x^{2}-17x+15x-255=0\\x(x-17)+15(x-17)=0\\(x-17)(x+15)=0

  • If (x-17)=0 then the value of <em>x</em> is 17.

       The odd numbers are:

          x-2=17-2=15\\x=17\\x+2=17+2=19

  • If (x+15)=0 then the value of <em>x</em> is -15.

       The odd numbers are:

         x-2=-15-2=-17\\x=-15\\x+2=-15+2=-13

Thus, the consecutive odd integers are (15, 17, 19) or (-17, -15, -13).

Anestetic [448]

Answer: 4=G 5=A

Step-by-step explanation:

4: since he has only 1 dime 2 nickels and 1 quarter he cant pull out 2 dimes since he doesn't have them, meaning G is not possible.

5: To solve you have to multiply 2 1/2 and 3 1/4, one way is by creating improper fractions and multiply that way. So you will get 5/2 x 13/4 which will give you 65/8. Simply to get 8 and 1/8

Find the x value y=-6 y=4x+12​
vodomira [7]

Answer:

x = -9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute y = -6 in the second equation.

y = 4x + 12

-6 = 4x + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides.

-18 = 4x

Divide by 4.

-9/2 = x
