Answer:

332, 333, 334

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we acknowledge that the equation that we need to solve will be "x+(x+1)+(x+2)=999" This is because x represents the smallest of three consecutive numbers whose sum is 999. Simplifying this equation will leave us with 3x+3=999 which is simplified further to 3x=996 and again simplified to x=332. X is the smallest number of the three.

Write the linear equation that gives the rule for this table.

Maksim231197 [3]

to get the equation of any straight line all we need is two points, well, let's just grab them from the table.

hmmm let's use (-49 , -39) and hmmm say (67 , 77)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-49}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-39})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{67}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{77}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{77}-\stackrel{y1}{(-39)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{67}-\underset{x_1}{(-49)}}}\implies \cfrac{77+39}{67+49}\implies \cfrac{116}{116}\implies 1$

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-39)}=\stackrel{m}{1}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-49)}) \\\\\\ y+39=1(x+49)\implies y+39=x+49\implies y=x+10$
