Answer:

-75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the first  odd number to be 'x'.

Thus:

  1. 1st odd number: x
  2. 2nd odd number: x+2
  3. 3rd odd number: x+3

According to the question, the sum of these three consecutive ODD numbers should be equal to -219

So,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -219

3x + 6 = -219

3x = -225

x = -75

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The initial value is 800 ft

She is falling at a rate of 5 ft per second

That would be -5ft/s

We can write this in the form

y = mx+b
