Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 1)·(x + 1 + 11) = (x + 4)·(x + 4 + 1) --> x = 2

Answer:
3^-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever you multiply exponents, you add the values. Negative two plus negative three results in an answer of negative five. This will be the power. You will end up with 3^-5 as your answer.
Consecutive integers are 1 apart
x,x+1,x+2
(x)(x+1)(x+2)=-120
x^3+3x^2+3x=-120
add 120 to both sides
x^3+3x^2+3x+120=0
factor
(x+6)(x^2-3x+20)=0
set each to zero
x+6=0
x=-6
x^2-3x+20=0
will yeild non-real result, discard
x=-6
x+1=-5
x+2=-4
the numbers are -4,-5,-6
use trial and error and logic
factor 120
120=2*2*2*3*5
how can we rearange these numbers in (x)(y)(z) format such that they multiply to 120?
obviously, the 5 has to stay since 2*5=10 which is out of range
so 2*2*2*3 has to arrange to get 3,4 or 4, 6 or 6,7
obviously, 7 cannot happen since it is prime
3 and 4 results in in 12, but 2*2*2*3=24
therfor answer is 4 and 6
they are all negative since negaive cancel except 1
the numbers are -4,-5,-6
