First remember that sum means to add. now think about the equation. we need to find 3 numbers that equal 159 when added together. And they are all consecutive odd numbers. so let's call the first number X. the second number would be X+2 since we have to jump over 1 even number. The third number would be X+4 since we have to jump over 2 even numbers. so now an equation to represent this would be X+(X+2)+(X+4)=159. Add like terms, and remember order of operations. if you need help getting the answers leave me a comment.
I spent a lil time on it but I’ll let you know in a lil but if I have the answer:)
The options are wrong lol, it is -1/8
Answer:
Let the scores on the first two test be x
Let score for third test be 14 exceeds second( or first) = x + 14
Total = 233
x + x + (x + 14) = 233
3x + 14 = 233
3x = 219
x = 73
Score of the third test = x + 14 = 73 + 14 = 87
Therefore, the scores are 73, 73, 87
