You're asking for three consecutive odd numbers, then
Let, the numbers = x, x+2, x+4
It is given that, x + x+2+ x+4 = -27
3x + 6 = -27
3x = -27 - 6
x = -33/3
x = -11
Then, x+2 = -9 & x+4 = -7
In short, Your Numbers would be: -7, -9,-11
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-3(y²+4y+4)-5+6y
=-3y²-12 y-12-5+6 y
=-3y²-6y-17
<span>8x + 8y = -48
-------------------------
Plug in -8 for x
(8) (-8) + 8y = -48
-------------------------------
Simplify
</span><span><span><span>(8) </span><span>(<span>−8</span>) </span></span>+ <span>8y </span></span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span><span><span>−64 </span>+ <span>8y </span></span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span><span><span>8y </span>− 64 </span>= <span>−<span>48
</span></span>-----------------------------------------
Add 64 to each side
<span><span><span>8y </span>− 64 </span>+ 64 </span>= <span><span>−48 </span>+ 64
</span><span>8y </span>= <span>16
</span>---------------------------------------------------
Finally, divide each side by 8
8y ÷ 8 = 16 ÷ 8
y = <span>2
</span>----------------------------------------------------------------
y = 2 is your answer
