Answer:

The largest integer is 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive positive integers are x, x+1 and x+2.

The square of sum of squares of three consecutive positive integers is 2354 such that,

x^2+(x+1)^2+(x+2)^2=2354\\\\x^2+x^2+2x+1+x^2+4+4x=2354\\\\3x^2+6x+5=2354\\\\3x^2+6x- 2349=0

It is a quadratic equation whose solution is given by :

x = 27 and x = -29

First positive integer = 27

Second positive integer = 27+1 = 28

Third positive integer = 27+2 = 29

Hence, the largest integer is 29.

How many solutions does the system 2y=10x-14 and 5x-y=7 have? need worked out step by step please!
VLD [36.1K]
2y=10x-14
5x-y=7

Divide both sides by 2 in the 1st equation
y=5x-7
Now substitute is to 2nd equation 
5x-5x+7=7
0=0

Therefore there is no solution or it is inconsistent
