Answer:
11, 13 and 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the odd number is "x". If x is for example 15, then the next ODD number would be 15+2=17 and the one after that would be 15+2+2=15+4=19.
Applying that here, we get:
Odd number* the next odd number*the next odd number=2145
x*(x+2)*(x+4)=2145
x*(x^2+4x+2x+8)=2145
x^3+6x^2+8x=2145
By solving the polynomial, you get x=11.
Which makes our three numbers: 11, 13 and 15.
11*13*15=2145. The answer checks.
The value is already in its simplest form, it cannot be reduced any further.
You can solve this by using the system of equations.
Jan - 4.95 = 2H + 3C
Wayne - 5.45 = 3H + 2C
Use elimination.
-3(2H + 3C = 4.95)
2(3H + 2C = 5.45)
Solve. And you'll get:
-6H + (-9C) = -14.85
6H + 4C = 10.9
Cross out -6H and 6H because they cancel out. And you're left with:
-9C = -14.85
4C = 10.9
Add -9C with 4C, and -14.85 with 10.9.
-5C = -3.95
Divide each side with -5.
C = $0.79
Now to figure out what H is, just substitute the C in one of the equations with 0.79.
5.45 = 3H + 2(0.79)
5.45 = 3H + 1.58
-1.58 -1.58
3.87 = 3H
3.87/3 = 3/3(H)
1.29 = H
Finished!
