Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 is half of 6 so the smallest term would be 1/2.
Since he starts with (10x+7) dollars and is buying two pairs of jeans that each cost (4x-5) dollars you should subtract the cost of the jeans from his starting amount.
(10x+7)-2(4x-5)=
10x+7-8x+10=
2x+17
Let the first number be = x
Let the second number which is consecutive be = x+1
As given, the product of two consecutive square numbers is 144

Square rooting both sides we get





or 
Neglect the negative value so we get x=3
Hence, one number is 3 and the consecutive number is = 3+1=4
The square of the numbers are 9 and 16.
