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
The inequality that can be used to determine x is

<h3>How to generate the inequality</h3>
<u>Given data</u>
Rental company charge per day = $31.91
Rental company charge per mile driven = $0.07
Hudson plans to drive 100 miles
Hudson has at most $70
solution
let x represent he maximum number of days Hudson can afford to rent while staying on budget. cost of number of days is:
$31.91 * x= 31.91x
As Hudson plans to ride 100 miles; cost is:
100 * 0.07 = $7
therefore number of days plus 100 miles ride is:
31.91x + 7
with a limit of less than or equal to the budget we have:

The inequality above could be used to determine x

Answer:
3/8 = 9/24 ; 1/3 = 8/24 ; 3/8 > 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to multiply 8 and 3 to obtein the same number as denominatoe (24).
Once you have the same number you can use < = >
D because square roots of negative numbers are imaginary
