Define x :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
First number = x
Second Number = x + 1
Third Number = x + 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
x(x+2) - (x+1) = 7(x+2) + 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
x(x + 2) - (x + 1) = 7(x + 2) + 1
x² + 2x - x - 1 = 7x + 14 + 1
x²- 6x - 16 = 0
<span>(x+2)(x-8) = 0
</span>x = -2 or x = 8
Since x is a positive integer, it cannot be negative.
⇒x = 8

Answer:
idk
Step-by-step explanation:
Scott is 62+3=65 inches tall, and there are 12 inches in a foot, so you get 65/12=about 5 whole feet. 5 whole feet is 60 inches in total, so we have a leftover 5 inches, meaning that Scott is 5 feet and 5 inches tall.

ANSWER

EXPLANATION
To find the expression that is equivalent to

we must first expand

Then we rearrange to find the required expression.
So let's get started.

We expand the parenthesis on the right hand side to get,

We expand again to obtain,

Let us group the cubed terms on the right hand side to get,


We make the cubed terms the subject,

We factor to get,

We expand the bracket on the left hand side to get,

We finally simplify to get,
