You just need to plug those expressions inside the formula: it doesn't matter if they're expressions involving a variable instead of plain numbers: the formula becomes
If you want, you can simplify it by expanding the square and then multiply the two parenthesis:
Let
x---------> first positive integer
x+1------> second positive integer
x+2-----> third positive integer
we know that
(x+1)*(x+2)=72-------> x² +2x+x+2=72 -------> x² +3x-70=0
using a graph tool-------> <span>I solve the quadratic equation
</span>see the attached figure
the roots are
x1=-10
x2=7
the answer is
first positive integer is x=7
second positive integer is x+1=8
third positive integer is x+2=9
