Let's say the first number is "a"
the next consecutive can just be "a+1" and the next, you guessed it, "a+2"
the two smaller ones are a and a+1, the larger one is a+2
now, the product of "a" and "a+1" equals 5 times "a+2" but less by 5
thus a(a + 1) = 5(a + 2) - 5 <----- solve for "a"
Answer:
its 3.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes the left states your reasoning
• x+1.793= 2.42
x-1.793= 2.42-1.793 FALSE
• 5.25x = 15.75
Solve for x, by dividing both sides of the equation by 5.25
x = 15.75/5.25
x = 3 TRUE
• The equation x = 2.4 *11.62 can be rewritten as x = 11.62 * 2.4. TRUE
• The solution to the equation x + 9.43 = 16.09 is x = 6.66.
x+9.43 = 16.09
Subtract 9.43 from both sides of the euqation:
x-9.43+9.43= 16.09-9.43
x = 6.66 TRUE
