Algebra.Com's Answer #176630 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! x*(x+1)*(x+2) = 504 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "It's likely to be integers, so look for integer roots. \n" ); document.write( "504 = 2*2*2*3*3*7 so it's likely a root will be 7 or a multiple of 7. Plus, the dimensions are 3 sequential numbers. \n" ); document.write( "504 = 7*8*9, so that's the answer. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
