Find the first of three consecutive integers. The product of the first and the second is 34 less than the square of the third.

-
x=first number


x+1=second number

x+2=third number

x(x+1)=(x+2)^2-34

x^2+x=(x+2)^2-34

x^2+x+34=(x+2)^2

x^2+x+34=x^2+4x+4

0=3x-30

30=3x
x=10.

The first number is 10. Second number is 11. Third number is 12.

-
x(x+1) = (x+2)^2 - 34
x = 10
x+1 = 11
x+2 = 12
10 times 11 = 12 times 12 - 34
