Assume the smaller one is x, then the other ones will be x+2 and x+4

x(x+2) + 2 = 5(x+4)

x^2 + 2x - 5x - 18 = 0

-> x^2 - 3x - 18 = 0

-> (x-6)(x+3) = 0

-> x = 6 or -3, since x must be positive, then x = 6

So the numbers are: 6, 8, 10

| x-3 | &lt; x-3<br><br> can someone give a step by step process on how to do this?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

There are no solutions to the inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

|x - 3| < x – 3

1. Separate the inequality into two separate ones.

(1) x – 3 < x – 3

(2) x – 3 < -(x – 3)  

2. Solve each equation separately

(a) Equation (1)

\begin{array}{rcl}x - 3 & < & x - 3\\x & < & x\\\end{array}\\\text{This is impossible. No solutions exist.}

(b) Equation (2)

\begin{array}{rcl}x - 3 & < & -(x - 3)\\x - 3 & < & -x + 3\\x &

For example, if x = 0, we get  

|0 - 3| < 0 - 3 or

3 < -3
