Answer:
2400
Step-by-step explanation:
y= -300x + 2400
-300 equals the slope
2400 is the y-intercept
Equation: y = mx + b
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.
