Answer 2

hi

aim : Average of five consecutive numbers is 35. find the greatset number is these five numbers?

let the smallest number be x


then other 4 no. are

x +1 , x+2,x+3,x+4

now

average = sum of observation/number of observation

so,

35 = x +x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4/5

35 = 5x +10/5

35*5 = 5x +10

175 = 5x + 10

5x  = 165

x = 33

now highest is x +4

so 33+4

=37

hope it helps u'
