Answer:
12, 13, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Three consecutive numbers means three numbers in a row, so if n is the first number, the second number is one more than n (which is n+1) and the third number is one more than that (which is n+2)
So three times (3 x) the first number (n) is equal to (=) nine more than (9 +) the sum of the other two ( (n+1) + (n+2) )
3 times n can be written as 3n
So 3n = 9 + (n+1) + (n+2)
3n = 9 + n + 1 + n + 2
3n = 9 + 1 + 2 + n + n
3n = 12 + 2n
Subtract 2n from each side
3n - 2n = 12 + 2n - 2n
1n = 12
n = 12
So the first number is 12, the second number is 12 + 1 (13) and the third number is 12 + 2 (14)
The numbers are 12, 13, 14

Answer:
160 not interested and 144*
Step-by-step explanation:
* is the degree sign like the little o
The tiles go in this order: 4,3,2,1

A) -6a = 36
Divide both sides by -6 so that (a) is isolated.
a = -6
Check by plugging in -6 for a.
-6a=36
-6(-6)=36
36=36
So, a=-6
B) -9d=-72
Divide both sides by -9.
d = -72/-9
d = 8
Check work by plugging in 8 for d.
-9d=-72
-9(8)=-72
-72=-72
So, d=8
