Answer:

The largest number is 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be = x , x+1 , x+2

As given, their sum is 84, we can write as:

$x+x+1+x+2=84$

=> $3x+3=84$

=> $3x=84-3$

=> $3x=81$

x = 27

So, x+1= $27+1=28$

And x+2 = $27+2=29$

Hence, the largest number is 29.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Hello,

I have reply too quick in comments (sorry)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}log_x (27)+log_y (4)=5\\log_x (27)-log_y (4)=1\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2*log_x (27)=6\\2*log_y (4)=4\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}log_x (27)=3\\log_y (4)=2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x^{log_x (27)}=x^3\\y^{log_y (4)}=y^2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}27=x^3\\4=y^2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=3\\y=2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\$

Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation 2x2 + x-1 = 2

algol [13]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + x - 1 = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x² + x - 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 2 × - 3 = - 6 and sum = + 1

The factors are - 2 and + 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² - 2x + 3x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(x - 1) + 3(x - 1) = 0 ← factor out (x - 1) from each term

(x - 1)(2x + 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

2x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 3 ⇒ x = - $\frac{3}{2}$
