Answer:
12, 13, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Denote the integers as:
x
x+1
x+2
The sum of their squares, so that would be;
(x^(2)) + (( x + 1 )^(2)) + (( x + 2 )^(2)) = 509
write out the squares
x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 509
combine like terms
3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509
inverse operations
3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509
-5 -5
3x^2 + 6x = 504
factor
3x^2 + 6x = 504
3 ( x^2 + 2x ) =504
Inverse operations
3 ( x^2 + 2x ) = 504
/3 /3
x^2 + 2x = 168
Factor again
x ( x + 2 ) = 168
At this point, it should be obvious that x is 12 (because 12 * 14 = 168)
So now substitute back into the consecutive numbers
x = 12
x + 1 = 13
x + 2 = 14
3. Credit Card: (1842.66 - 250) (.145/12) = $19.24
Savings: 250(0.04/12) = $0.83
Difference = 19.24 - 0.83 = $18.41
4. Credit Card: (1842.66 - 500) (.145/12) = $16.22
You will save $18.41 - $16.22 = $2.19 by putting all $500 toward the higher credit card rate.
