Three consecutive numbers are x, x+1 and x+2.
Four times the first integer is 4x
The sum of the second and third is (x+1)+(x+2)=2x+3.
So, we have

Subtract 2x from both sides:

Divide both sides by 2:

So, you can't have three consecutive integers such that four times the first is 18 more than the sum of the other two: the three numbers would be 10.5, 11.5, 12.5.
In fact, you have

and

The growth rate is the a value, or the number before the x value. The answer would be 15.
Answer:
196000 tiles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 28 m is 2800 cm. So a 28 x 28 meter square would be 2800 x 2800 centimeter square.
The tiles are 40 cm.
If you divide 40 from (2800 x 2800). (2800 x 2800) ÷40 = 196000
So 196000 tiles.
I'm not entirely sure if that's correct, but if it helps that's awesome.
