Hi can someone please help me with my math work?

Integers are 7, 8, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let three positive consecutive integers are (n - 1), n, (n + 1)

If the product of the second and the third integer is 72,

n(n + 1) = 72

n² + n = 72

n² + n - 72 = 0

n² + 9n - 8n - 72 = 0

n(n + 9) - 8(n + 9) = 0

(n - 8)(n + 9) = 0

(n - 8) = 0 ⇒ n = 8

(n + 9) = 0 ⇒ n = -9

For n = 8,

Integers will be ⇒ 7, 8, 9

For n = -9,

Integers will be ⇒ -10, -9, -8

Since, all integers are positive,

7, 8, 9 will be the answer.

answer: 45

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point
