First, convert the equation to the standard equation of a parabola.
-1/4(y+4)=(x-3)^2 ---multiply -4 on both sides
y+4=-4(x-3)^2 ---subtract 4 on both sides
y=-4(x-3)^2-4
From the equation, we know that the parabola was moved by 3 to the right, because of (x-3)^2. So the axis of symmetry is x=3. Now look at the number in front of (x-3)^2. It is -4. Since it is negative, the parabola opens downwards.
X = +12 in equation 9. Does that help?

Answer:
the numbers are 20, 21 and 22
Step-by-step explanation:
x+(x+1) + (x+2) = 63
3x +3 = 63
3x = 60
x = 20
