Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive numbers differ by one. So, if
is the first, the three numbers are

The sum of the first and third integer is

Remark
If the lines are parallel then triangle RQS will be similar to triangle RTP
From that, all three lines in one triangle will bear the same ratio to all three lines of the second triangle.

PQ = 8
QR = 5
RS = 15
ST = x + 3
Ratio
QR/RP = RS/RT
Sub and solve
RP = 5 + 8
RP = 13
RT = 15 + x + 3
RT = 18 + x
5/13 = 15 / (18 + x) Cross multiply
5(18 + x) = 195 Remove the brackets on the left.
90 + 5x = 195 Subtract 90 from both sides.
5x = 105 Divide by 5
x = 105/5
x = 21 Answer <<<<<<<
Answer:
No it isn't
As the variable "x" has root in it which means it isn't a whole number and for a expression to be a polynomial the variable must be whole no.
