  1. Find all real solutions to x + ( x + 1) + ( x + 2) = ( x + 3) .
解析
  1. Find all real solutions to x + ( x + 1) + ( x + 2) = ( x + 3) . Solution: 3 3 2 3 2 The equation simplifies to 3 x + 9 x + 15 x + 9 = x + 9 x + 27 x + 27, or equivalently, 3 2 2 2 x − 12 x − 18 = 2( x − 3)( x + 3 x + 3) = 0. The discriminant of x + 3 x + 3 is − 3 < 0, so the only real solution is x = 3. 1
