Question

7. The sum of two consecutive multiples of 5 is 55. Find these multiples.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x+ x+5=55

2x+5=55

2x=55-5

2x=50

x=50/2

x=25

therefore the two consecutive multiples of 5 are:

x=25

x+5=30

25,30

Answer 2

Answer:

25 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first consecutive multiple be 5x

Therefore, other be 5x+5

ATQ

5x+5x+5=55

10x=55-5

X=50/10

X=5

Therefore, the two consecutive multiples of 5 whose sum is 55 are

5x=5×5=25 and 5x+5=5×5+5=30
