6 0

------------------------------------------------------
Define x :
------------------------------------------------------
Let one of the numbers be x.
1st number = x
2nd number = x + 2
3rd number = x + 4

------------------------------------------------------
Construct the equation :
------------------------------------------------------
The 3 numbers add up to -9.
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -9

------------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
------------------------------------------------------
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -9
3x + 6 = -9
3x = -9 -6
3x = -15
x = -5

------------------------------------------------------
Find the numbers :
------------------------------------------------------
1st number = x = -5
2nd number = x + 2 = -5 + 2 = -3
3rd number = x + 4 = -5 + 4 = -1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The 3 numbers are -5, -3, -1

Write the equation in standard form<br><br> y = -10x + 6

Mumz [18]

Step (1) Flip the equation

−10x+6=y

Step (2) Add -6 to both sides

−10x+6+−6=y+−6

−10x=y−6

Step (3) Divide both sides by -10

−10x−10=y−6−10

ANSWER
$x = \frac{ - 1}{10} y + \frac{3}{5}$
