3 0

Hello! If you look at the pattern, 100 - 85 is 15, 85 - 70 is 15, and 70 - 55 is 15. You don't divide, because the numbers would be much smaller, or multiply, because the numbers would be much bigger. You would subtract 15 in order to get the next numbers. The answer is B.

Which 3 consecutive numbers add up to 72

AnnZ [28]

You need to write this question out in algebra form first. X + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72 than you add the like terms
3x + 3 = 72 ... 3x=69 ... x=69/3 ... x=23. So we have now found x now you just add 1 to x and get 24 and you add 2 to x you will get 25.

Add 23 + 24 + 25 together you will get 72
