There are three consecutive odd numbers. The difference between the product of the first two numbers and the product of the last two numbers is 76. What is the sum of the three odd numbers? So I've already worked out that it's like this:XY +76 = YZX+2 = YY+2 = ZI've been stuck on this for days. Please help!

, and

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

the domain of a function is the set of input values, x , for which a function is defined. the domain is shown in the left oval in the picture below. the function provides an output value, f(x) , for each member of the domain.

the answer i believe is 27 units.
