Two sets of three consecutive integers have a property that the product of the larger two is

Answer:

{1, 2, 3},  {3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Write expressions for three consecutive integers:  n, n + 1, n + 2.

Set up an equation for the verbal description: the product (mulitplication) of the two larger integers (the last two) is one less than 7 times the smallest (the first one).

(n + 1)(n + 2) = 7n - 1

Multiply (FOIL) the left side.

n^2 + 3n + 2 = 7n - 1

Subtract 7n and subtract 1 to make the right side 0.

n^2 - 4n + 3 = 0

Factor.

(n - 1)(n - 3) = 0

Set the two factors equal to 0

n - 1 = 0,  n - 3 = 0

Solve for n.

n = 1,  n = 3

One set of integers begins with 1, so it's {1, 2, 3}.

The other set begins with 3, so it's {3, 4, 5}

Manish and Jhanavi each receive an equal bonus. Manish has 1/2 fraction of allowance as saving accounts , 1/4 of the fraction he
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Manish has Rs630 while Jhanavi has Rs168.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction Manish would have left would be subtracting the fraction on savings as well as that spent on the mall. Which would be;

1 -( 1/2 + 1/4)=1 -3/4 = 1/4

Meaning Manish had 1/4 of his allowance left on him.

Which means 1/4 × Rs. 2520=Rs630

Similarly for Jhanavi, we have :

The fraction left as

1-(1/3 +3/5) = 1 - ( 14/15) = 1/15

Meaning 1/15 of the allowance got remains which is;

1/15 × Rs. 2520= Rs.168
