What is the sum of three consecutive whole numbers with 4y as the middle whole number? please answer

 12y

Explanation:

4y is the middle value, or second value.

This means 4y-1 is the first value since it is immediately before 4y

Also, we know that 4y+1 is the value just after 4y

The order of the terms is: 4y-1, 4y, 4y+1

Add up those three expressions and simplify

(4y-1) + (4y) + (4y+1)

4y-1 + 4y + 4y+1

(4y+4y+4y) + (-1+1)

12y+0

12y

The three terms combine to 12y.

Start by finding the mean of the data set.

Find the sum of the data values, and divide the sum by the number of data values.

Find the value of the difference between each data value and the mean. You can do this by subtracting the mean by the data (d-m).

Find the sum of the differences. Divide the sum of the absolute values of the differences by the number of data values.

Hope this helped. Have a great day!
