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

What is g(x)?.......
8090 [49]

Answer:

g(x) = -|x|

Step-by-step explanation:

Are you familiar with the absolute value function y = |x|?

Its graph is v-shaped and opens up.

If the graph is turned upside down (so that it opens down), then g(x) = -|x|.
