Solution
Let the numbers be x-2 , x and x+2
Product of the first and the third numbers = 252
x2 -4 = 252
x2 = 256
x = 16
Five times the middle number = 5 x 16 = 80
Let the numbers be x-2 , x and x+2
Product of the first and the third numbers = 252
x2 -4 = 252
x2 = 256
x = 16
Five times the middle number = 5 x 16 = 80
