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: with 133.33 acres of trees
Step-by-step explanation:
4 acres of trees, is a 97% decrease of the previous amount.
This means that if the previous amount was X, then 4 acres is 3% (or 0.03 in decimal form) of X, or:
4 acres = 0.03*X
Now we can solve this for X as:
X = 4acres/0.03 = 133.33 acres
The illegal loggers got away with 133.33 acres of trees
D. Plug in the options to both equations and find which makes both true.
Answer:
15/4
Step-by-step explanation:
5 = 5/1
Then you just multiply across, 5*3=15 and 1*4=4 so you get 15/4.
