Let
x---------> first positive integer
x+1------> second positive integer
x+2-----> third positive integer
we know that
(x+1)*(x+2)=72-------> x² +2x+x+2=72 -------> x² +3x-70=0
using a graph tool-------> <span>I solve the quadratic equation
</span>see the attached figure
the roots are
x1=-10
x2=7
the answer is
first positive integer is x=7
second positive integer is x+1=8
third positive integer is x+2=9
Explanation:
250 can be used as a total, with 10 being how much something subtracted multiple times takes away, and 20 being the end result. So, we could make the problem about a lot of things, but I'll go ahead and write the first one that comes to mind.
Answer:
Arata has $250 in his bank account, and plans on buying several CDs. Each one costs $10, and by the end of the trip, there is only $20 left in his account. How many CDs did Arata buy, assuming there was no tax or other additional charges?
