When , x = –7 ,
Answer:
Hi,
Step-by-step explanation:
If the "is" means is equal to
Let's say a-1, a, a+1 the 3 consecutive integers.
[tex](a-1)*a*(a+1)=30*(a-1)\\\\(a-1)*(a*(a+1)-30)=0\\\\(a-1)(a^2+a-30)=0\\\\(a-1)(a^2+6a-5a-30)=0\\\\(a-1)(a(a+6)-5(a+6))=0\\\\(a-1)(a+6)(a-5)=0\\\\a=1\ or\ a=-6\ or\ a=5\\[/tex]
[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}a&a-1&a+1&Prod&30*(a-1)\\---&----&----&----&--------\\1&0&2&0&30*0=0\\5&4&6&120&4*30=120\\-6&-7&-5&-210&30*(-6)=-180\end{array}\\[/tex]
The two sets are : (0,1,2) and (4,5,6).
