Answer:

13 + 14 + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

n + (n + 1) + (n +2) =42

n + n + n + 1 + 2 = 42

3n + 3 = 42

(subtract 3 from both sides)

3n = 39

(divide both sides by 3)

n = 13

(solve)

n + (n + 1) + (n +2) =42

13 + (13 + 1) + (13 + 2) = 42

13 + (14) + (15) = 42

13, 14, 15

(Hope this helps, have a nice day!)

In what order would we solve for n? 3n - 4 = 14

Blizzard [7]

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation;

3*n-4-(14)=0

Pull out like factors :

3n - 18 = 3 • (n - 6)

Solve : 3 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve : n-6 = 0

Add 6 to both sides of the equation :
n = 6
