The best way to answer this is to find counterarguments for each answer to eliminate them as a possibility. ab doesn't have to be an integer, 2.5*3=7.5 . That's also not an imaginary number so that's out. And that's also not an irrational number so that's out too. Only choice left is rational number.
33
The lines stand for absolute value. The expression would then look like:
13+26-18+12
39-18+12
21+12

Answer:
The numbers are -16,-15 and -14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the first number
x+1 ----> the second number
x+2 ---> the third number
we know that
(1/4)x+(1/5)(x+1)=(1/7)(x+2)-5
Multiply by (4*5*7) both sides
35x+28(x+1)=20(x+2)-140*5
35x+28x+28=20x+40-700
43x=-688
x=-16
so
x+1=16+1=-15
x+2=-16+2=-14
The numbers are -16,-15 and -14
