In the sport competition, France won more gold medals than Italy, who won more gold medals than Korea. If the total number of gold medals won by these three countries is three consecutive integers whose sum is 48, find the number of gold medals won by each.

Korea = 15

Italy = 16

France = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Korea = x

Italy = x + 1

France = x + 2

(since the values are consecutive)

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 48

3x + 3 = 48

3x = 48 - 3

3x = 45

x = 45 / 3

x = 15

Korea = x = 15

Italy = x + 1 = 16

France = x + 2 = 17

the dimensions are:

step-by-step explanation:

we want to find the dimensions of a rectangular box with volume of

we factor to obtain;

we rewrite the rightmost factor to obtain;

recall that:

we apply difference of two squares formula to obtain;

hence the dimensions are
