Answer:

You can use the 5 against the unknown number and add a few more moves which makes it 6.5.. It's easier in my head man.
<span>There are three possibilities.
1. Of the 30 bikes that needed gear repairs, 20 also needed tires.
2. Of the 30 bikes that needed gear repairs, 10 also needed tires.
3. Of the 30 bikes that needed gear repairs, between 10 and 20 also needed tires.</span>
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.
