This is one of the more challenging problems on the Chapter 12 review sheet (“the sum/product of 3 consecutive terms” problem).  Click on for the solution:

Please be advised that we are continuing with the B-day-first schedule through all of April and the first week of May.  However, starting with the May 12-13 Chapter 12 test, we are returning to the traditional A-day-first schedule for the rest of the academic year.
