Let the 3 consecutive number be represented by n, (n + 1) and (n + 2)
Then, n(n + 1) + 37 = (n + 2)2
n2 + n + 37 = n2 + 4n + 4
3n = 33
n = 11
The three numbers are 11, 12 and 13.
8,10,12
16, 17 and 18
the answer is 6
two consecutive numbers with the product of 1722 = 41 & 42
The two numbers can be thought of as: Smaller Odd Number = x + 1 (Add one to ensure it is an odd number) Larger Consecutive Odd Number = Smaller Number + 2 = x + 1 + 2 = x + 3 We know that Smaller Odd Number + Larger Consecutive Odd Number = 100 (X + 1) + (x + 3) = 100 2x + 4 = 100 2x = 96 x = 48 Smaller Odd Number = 48 + 1 = 49 The smaller odd number is 49. The next consecutive odd number of course is 51.
Find 3 consecutive numbers where the product of the smaller two numbers is 19 less than the square of the largest number.
