Question 1138723: Find the positive integer n such that P(n+1,3)=10 P(n-1,2)
Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

P(n+1,3) = (n+1)(n)(n-1)
P(n-1,2) = (n-1)(n-2)

So

There are two solutions: n=5 and n=4.

n=5:
P(6,3) = 6*5*4 = 120
P(4,2) = 4*3 = 12
10*12 = 120

n=4:
P(5,3) = 5*4*3 = 60
P(3,2) = 3*2 = 6
10*6 = 60
