Write down the facts and figures.
Find a relationship between what is given and what must be found.
Do the work.
−3b+2.5=4
Subtract 2.5 from both sides.
−3b+2.5−2.5=4−2.5
−3b=1.5
Divide both sides by -3.
−3b/−3 = 1.5/−3
b=−0.5
The 3 consecutive numbers are 41, 42, and 43 : 41+42+43= 126

X= -50
Step-by-step explanation:
Remove the parenthesis
multiply both sides by two
x - 6 = -56
Move the 6 to the other side
x = -56 + 6
x = -50
