Answer:Hi,

Let the number be x

Twice the number is 2x

Five less than twice the number is 2x-5, which is given as 9

Therefore, 2x-5 = 9

or, 2x = 9+5

or, 2x = 14

or x=7

Thus the number is 7.

Cheers

Find three consecutive integers such that that product of the first and third is one
Tema [17]

Answer:

n = the first

n + 1 = the 2nd

n + 2 = the 3rd

n(n + 2) - (n + 1) = 10(n + 2) + 1

n2 + 2n - n - 1 = 10n + 20 + 1

n2 - 9n - 22 = 0

(n - 11)(n + 2) = 0

If two factors = 0, at least one must = 0.

n - 11 = 0

n = 11

11,12,13

n + 2 = 0

n = -2

-2,-1,0
