Answer:

number 1  + number 2 + number 3 = 15

Number 1 = x + 12

Number 2 = x - 12

Number 3 = x

(x + 12) + (x - 12) + x = 15

x + 12 + x - 12 + x = 15

x + x + x +12 -12 = 15

3x = 15

x = 15/3 = 5

Check:

Number 1 = 17

Number 2 = 5 -12 = -7

Number = 5

number 1  + number 2 + number 3 = 15

17 + (-7) + 5 = 15

10 + 5 = 15

15 = 15

Answer is 5

jeyben [28]
The x-intercept is when y=0, so we plug that in our equation,
