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:
This is a d = rt problem; but since it is linear, then proportions will work too. Set up the proportion with miles on top and hours on the bottom:
Then put the numbers in where they go, keeping in mind that miles goes with miles and hours goes with hours in the ratios, and that our unknown is time (hours):
and cross multiply to solve:
638x = 4466 so
x = 7 hrs
A tenth of 24.99 would be the first 9 after the point. In order to round it to the nearest tenth, we must look at the number after it. If that number is 5 or above, we must make the tenth one higher. In this case, the number after the tenth is above 5, so we change the tenth to a 1! Now the number becomes 25.00

Answer: n - 10 which is choice C</h3>
Let's use an example. If Nathaniel earned $15 on Tuesday, and earned $10 less on Wednesday, then 15-10 = 5 dollars is the amount he earns on Wednesday.
Now let's say he earned $27 on Tuesday, and still earned $10 less the next day, meaning that he earns 27-10 = 17
Whatever he earns on Tuesday, subtract off 10. That's the rule to follow for this problem.
(amount earned on Tuesday) - 10 = amount earned on Wednesday
If n reprsesent the placeholder for "amount earned on Tuesday", then we can rewrite that equation as
amount earned on Wednesday = n - 10
In short, whatever 'n' is, subtract 10 off it. In the examples above, I used n = 15 and n = 27.
note: the order of subtraction matters. The expression n-10 is not the same as 10 - n. If you subtract in the wrong order you may get a negative value (eg: 10 - 17 = -7), but he can't earn a negative amount of dollars.
