Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Get common denominators, and solve for each expression
7/5 - 3/4 = 28/20 - 15/20 = 13/20
1/4 + 2/5 = 5/20 + 8/20 = 13/20
These two fractions are equivalent
The grinch mountain was the answer
1st number = n
2nd number = n+1
3rd number = n+2
sum of the squares of 3 consecutive numbers is 116
n² + (n+1)² + (n+2)² = 116
n² + (n+1)(n+1) + (n+2)(n+2) = 116
n² + [n(n+1)+1(n+1)] + [n(n+2)+2(n+2)] = 116
n² + n² + n + n + 1 + n² + 2n + 2n + 4 = 116
n² + n² + n² + n + n + 2n + 2n + 1 + 4 = 116
3n² + 6n + 5 = 116 Last option.
