Question 415110: Word Problem: is actually a Problem with Consecutive odd positive integers
Find three consecutive odd positive integers such that 2 times the sum of all three is 153 less than the product of the first and second integers.
Here is what I have so far:
First Int: x
Second Int: (x+2)
Third Int: (x+4)
2(x+x+2+x+4)= 6x+32
6x+32= x(x+2)-153
0= x^2+2x-153
0= x^2-4x-185 Here is were I am lost (only 5 times 37 =185
and 1 times 185 = 185...How can I get -4?)
0= (x ? )(x ? )

Question 415294: The number of nickels, dimes, and quarters in a bank are consecutive odd integers, in increasing order. If there are d dimes, what is the value of the money in cents?
I have no idea if I am over thinking the question or not but do I have to convert everything to cents first and then solve in terms of that? Nickels are 0.5 dimes, and quarters 2.5 dimes. Consecutive odd integers mean nickels are our base valuje: (0.5d)5, dimes 10(d+2), and quarters are 25(2.5d+4)?????
