Let's say the first number is "a"
the next consecutive can just be "a+1" and the next, you guessed it, "a+2"
the two smaller ones are a and a+1, the larger one is a+2
now, the product of "a" and "a+1" equals 5 times "a+2" but less by 5
thus a(a + 1) = 5(a + 2) - 5 <----- solve for "a"

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Reasoning A store sells packages of comic books with a poster. A poster and 5 comics cost $13.99. A poster and 12 comics cost $20.99. Write a linear function rule that models the cost y of a package containing any number x of comic books. Suppose another store sells a similar package, modeled by a linear function rule with initial value $. Use pencil and paper. Explain which store has the better deal. The linear function rule is y nothing.
Answer:
Examine this system of linear equations.
y – 3x = –2,
y = 4
Which is a solution of the system of equations?
(0, 4)
(2, 2)
(2, 4)=this is the correct answer
(4, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
thats the answer
(2,4)
