Answer:
4719
Step-by-step explanation:
I just checked and the right answer seems to be a) 5.5, I am truly sorry if it was incorrect but pls let me know if it was the right answer
(x + 4) (x + 2)
=x^2 +2x + 4x + 8
=x^2 + 6x + 8
the other factor is (x + 2)
There are two answers to this question
the first possible answer is 5, 6, and 7 and the second possible answer is -4, -3, and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the three numbers be (x-1), x, and (x+1)
the product of the smallest and largest number is 17 more than 3 times the middle number, or
(x-1)(x+1) = 3x+17, or
x^2-1 = 3+17, or
x^2-3x-18 = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
So x = 6 or -3
Then just subtract one and add one to get the other integers. the three numbers are 5, 6, and 7 or -4, -3, and -2
