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!

zalisa [80]

Answer:

B. childhood sexual instincts.

Explanation:

Neo-Freudian personality theorists were most likely to disagree with Freud about the importance of childhood sexual instincts.  

Most Neo-Freudian Thinkers such as the case of Erik Erikson considered that Freud was not accurate when he assured that the personality of an individual was shaped in a great extent by childhood events and sexual instincts. Some other neo-Freudian thinkers were also in disagreement with Freud in aspects such as the negative view of the human nature, the lack of emphasis on those social and cultural aspects that impact behavior and personality or Freud's argument of sexual urges as a primary engagement factor.

Students who engaged in cheating would have probably violated which of the following Six Pillars of Character more than the othe
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: TRUSTWORTHINESS.

The six pillars of character was coined by a nonpartisan group of youth development in the year 1992 as “core ethical values that transcend cultural, religious and socioeconomic differences”.

The Six Pillars of Character are: Trustworthiness; Respect; Responsibility; Fairness; Caring and Citizenship.

Of all the 6 pillars, trustworthiness, explains the state of being reliable. Which includes honest communications, not stealing, not CHEATING, not lying, being loyal etc.

Cheating in any form is not an act of trustworthiness. Therefore students who engage in cheating violates TRUSTWORTHINESS.
