Answer:
Use the value for the variable to solve for the other unknowns. Substitute the value for the variable into the expression for the number of seats on the middle level. Substitute the value for the variable into the expression for the number of seats on the lower level.
There are two answers to this question
the first possible answer is 5, 6, and 7 and the second possible answer is -4, -3, and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the three numbers be (x-1), x, and (x+1)
the product of the smallest and largest number is 17 more than 3 times the middle number, or
(x-1)(x+1) = 3x+17, or
x^2-1 = 3+17, or
x^2-3x-18 = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
So x = 6 or -3
Then just subtract one and add one to get the other integers. the three numbers are 5, 6, and 7 or -4, -3, and -2
