Consecutive numbers are numbers that follow one right after the other. One example is the set {6, 7, 8}. We don't know the three consecutive numbers so let's define...
x = first number
x+1 = second number
x+2 = third number
where x, x+1, and x+2 are consecutive numbers
-----------------------------------------
"The sum of three consecutive numbers is -15" meaning that
x+(x+1)+(x+2) = -15
Let's solve for x
x+(x+1)+(x+2) = -15
x+x+1+x+2 = -15
3x+3 = -15
3x+3-3 = -15-3
3x = -18
3x/3 = -18/3
x = -6
So this means
first number = x = -6
second number = x+1 = -6+1 = -5
third number = x+2 = 6+2 = -4
The list of consecutive values is {-6, -5, -4}
They add up to (-6) + (-5) + (-4) = -11+(-4) = -15
which confirms we have the right values
---------------------------------------------------------
In short, the final answer is -4
Answer:
The answer is 4y.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you would solve the parentheses, which would be -1(-3y) which would equal positive 3y, and y+3y=4y. I apologize if I misunderstood the problem ^^
8^2 + 12 - 2(8)
64 + 12 - 16
76 - 16
60
so your answer would be 60

Answer:</h2>
As you said, we will solve for x by using substitution.
Using what we found for x, we plug it into one of the <u><em>original</em></u> equations to solve for y. I chose the second equation.
Now, we can create the solution to this system.
