Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us find the magic sum in each row/column/diagonal.

Sum of numbers from 1 to 9 = 45.

45 divide by 3 rows = 15 each row.

The magic sum is 15.

For the diagonals, we have:

8 + 5 + x = Magic sum = 15,

6 + 5 + y = Magic sum = 15.

Therefore x = 2 and y = 4.

Greater than (>).

Less than (<).

Greater than or equal to the other (≥).

Less than or equal to the other (≤).

Simplifying the inequality, we have:

$4 - 5g > 39\\\\5g > 4-39\\\\5g > -35\\\\g > -7$

Find 3 consecutive numbers where the product of the smaller two numbers is 19 less than the square of the largest number.

Reika [66]

N; n+1; n+2 - 3 consecutive numbers

n(n + 1) = (n + 2)² - 19 |use a(b + c) = ab + ac and (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

n² + n = n² + 4n + 4 - 19 |subtract n² from both sides

n = 4n - 15 |subtract 4n from both sides

-3n = -15 |divide both sides by (-3)

n = 5

n + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6

n + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7

Answer: 5; 6; 7.
