Chloe is trying to find three consecutive, positive integers such that six times the largest is equal to twice the sum of the two smaller integers. A) Show that the 3 consecutive, positive integers 4, 5, and 6 are NOT the ones Chloe is looking for. B) Set up an equation that models the numbers Chloe is trying to find. C) Matthew says that Chloe will not find positive solutions. He says that there are only negative solutions. Show that Matthew is correct. *

answer: a and b

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
