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.

Answer:

When a point is reflected across the x axis, it has the same x axis but the y axis is multiplied by -1. Think about the x axis as a mirror and the point is projected across the x axis.

Hence the x coordinate is -1 and the y coordinate is -5.
