$55,000 - $10,000 = $45,000
$55 - $15 = $40
$45,000 ÷ $40 = 1,125

Hey!
It says that it is the sum of 3 consecutive odd integers right?
So then we give these numbers some variables to work with like so...
x = 1st number
x + 2 = 2nd number
x + 4 = 3rd number
now set all of them equal to 207
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 207
3x + 6 = 207
3x = 201
<u>x = 67</u><u /> <u>x + 2 = 69</u><u /> <u /><u /> <u>x + 4 = 71
</u><u>

Answer:
n=15/2 or n=7.5. (their two versions of the same number. one in fraction form the other in decimal form.)
Step-by-step explanation:
(n represents 'a number' in this equasion)
3n=5n-15
3n=5n-15
3n-5n=-15 (isolate the variale)
-2n=-15
n=15/2 (a negative divided by a negative is a positive)
n=7.5
