put this solution on YOUR website!The equation for this one will be somewhat complicated to solve, but the answer is easy to find. Think about this: Three consecutive numbers whose product is 24. It's a pretty small number, so start small and use trial and error. Start with 2 for the first number. This makes the second number 3, and the third number is 4. Does that work? 2*3*4 = 24. Bingo!!
The equation is to let x = first, x+1= second, and x+2= third.
The equation is x(x+1)(x+2)= 24. This gets ugly fast. If you multiply it out you will get
, which is a tough equation to solve without higher math. If that is what you need, then resubmit the question, and someone will solve it for you.
