Yes your answer is correct
A + b + c = 72
a = b - 1
c = b + 1
(b - 1) + b + (b + 1) = 72
Simplify
3b = 72
b = 24
a = 24 - 1
a = 23
Just divide 5/4 = 1.25. Thank you.
Answer:
x = 6 or x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^2 + x - 42 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:
(x - 6) (x + 7) = 0
Split into two equations:
x - 6 = 0 or x + 7 = 0
Add 6 to both sides:
x = 6 or x + 7 = 0
Subtract 7 from both sides:
Answer: x = 6 or x = -7
