Use the formula x+x+1+x+2 or 3x+3=170 to find x. x is the first number. Then add x+1 to find the second number. Then add x+2 to find the third final number.
x will equal 167/3 which is a decimal, so just plug it in to the 3 equations I mentioned above to find your 3 consecutive numbers. More questions? Just ask me!
Answer: 48, 96
Explanation: the pattern is that it multiplies by two every time.
Ok so easy peasy
remember that when divide or multiply by negative, reverse the inequality symbol example
2>3 times -1=
-2<-3 so
-150x<u>></u>-2400
divide both sides by -150
flip sign
<u />x<u><</u>16
-336<u>></u>-21y
divide both sides by -21
flip sign
16<u><</u>y
they seem to have the same solution
x=y<u>></u>16
