The strategy for winning every time appears to be to ensure that the remaining number of coins is a multiple of 6. Then the first player can ensure a win by taking 2 coins to make the total number be 48.

Two sets of three consecutive integers have a property that the product of the larger two is
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

{1, 2, 3},  {3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Write expressions for three consecutive integers:  n, n + 1, n + 2.

Set up an equation for the verbal description: the product (mulitplication) of the two larger integers (the last two) is one less than 7 times the smallest (the first one).

(n + 1)(n + 2) = 7n - 1

Multiply (FOIL) the left side.

n^2 + 3n + 2 = 7n - 1

Subtract 7n and subtract 1 to make the right side 0.

n^2 - 4n + 3 = 0

Factor.

(n - 1)(n - 3) = 0

Set the two factors equal to 0

n - 1 = 0,  n - 3 = 0

Solve for n.

n = 1,  n = 3

One set of integers begins with 1, so it's {1, 2, 3}.

The other set begins with 3, so it's {3, 4, 5}
