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:
R = -8 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll solve the given equation for R.
Subtract 3 1/2 from both sides of the equation, to isolate R:
R + 3 1/2 - 3 1/2 = -4 2/3 - 3 1/2, or
R = -4 2/3 - 3 1/2
The LCD here is 6, which is the product of 3 and 2. Converting the fractions to denominator 6, we get:
R = -4 4/6 - 3 3/6, or
R = -7 - 7/6, or R = -7 - 1 1/6, or -8 1/6
Answer:
-3/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, we find the rise over run.
In this case, the rise is 6 - 3 = 3.
The run is 3 - 5 = -2.
The slope is 3 / (-2) = -3/2.
