3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A product of two (or more) factor can be zero if and only if at least one of the factors is zero.

In other words, you cannot multiply two non-zero real numbers, and have zero as a result.

So, if we want the product of these two factors to be zero, at least one of them has to be zero.

The first factor is zero if

x-2=0 x=2

The second factor is zero if

x + 5 = 0 x= -5

find 2 consecutive integers such that three times the square of the first is equal to seven more than five times the second

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for two numbers, $N$ and $N + 1$ . From the problem statement, we can setup the following equation:

$3N^{2} = 5(N + 1) + 7$

$3N^{2} = 5N + 5 + 7$

$3N^{2} - 5N - 12 = 0$

$(3N + 4)(N - 3)$

$N = \frac{-4}{3}, 3$

Because 3 is the only integer solution, the answer is 3 and 4.
