Question

Three numbers are in the thematic progression and their sum is 18 sum of their square is 140 find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Factors of 140 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 7  

2 + 10 + 7 = 19

a - d, a, a+d

a - d + a + a +d = 18

3a = 18

a = 6

(a-d)² + a² + (a+d)² = 140

(6-d)² + (6+d)² = 140 - 36

36 + d² - 12d + 36 + d² -12d = 104

2d² = 104 - 72 = 32

d² = 32/2 = 16

d = 4

so numbers a - d = 6-4 = 2; a= 6;  a+d = 6+4+ 10

2, 6, 10
