Represent the numbers with

x

First number : x

Consecutive number 1 : x + 2

Consecutive number 2 : x + 4

A.T.Q.:

x^{2} + (x + 2)^{2} + (x + 4)^{2} = 531

Решить

x^{2} + (x + 2)^{2} + (x + 4)^{2} = 531 : x = \frac{- 6 + 1569}{3}, x = - \frac{6 + 1569}{3}

Подставьте

x = \frac{- 6 + 1569}{3} : \frac{- 6 + 1569}{3} + 2, \frac{- 6 + 1569}{3} + 4

Подставьте

x = - \frac{6 + 1569}{3} : - \frac{6 + 1569}{3} + 2, - \frac{6 + 1569}{3} + 4

The numbers : \frac{- 6 + 1569}{3}, \frac{- 6 + 1569}{3} + 2, \frac{- 6 + 1569}{3} + 4 or - \frac{6 + 1569}{3}, - \frac{6 + 1569}{3} + 2, - \frac{6 + 1569}{3} + 4
