Answer:
6, 8, 10
Step-by-step explanation:
x y and z are three consecutive even numbers
it means that you can write y = x + 2
and z = y + 2 = x + 4
so
[tex]y^2-2=2x+5z\\ <=> (x+2)^2-2=2x+5(x+4)\\<=>x^2+4x+4-2=2x+5x+20[/tex]
[tex]<=> x^2+4x+2=7x+20\\<=>x^2+4x+2-7x-20=0\\<=>x^2-3x-18=0\\<=>(x+3)(x-6)=0<=>(x=-3\ or \ x=6)[/tex]
so the solutions are
x = 6
y = 8
x = 10
Answer:
6, 8, 10
Step-by-step explanation:
x, y, z
y=x+2, z= x+4
- y²- 2= 2x+5z
- (x+2)²- 2= 2x+ 5(x+4)
- x²+4x+4-2= 2x+5x+20
- x²-3x-18=0
Solving the quadratic equation we get:
- x=6, then y= 8, z= 10
- x= -3 discarded as odd number
