Answer:
260
Step-by-step explanation:
let the smallest no be x
other no.s : (x + 2 ),(x + 4 ),(x + 6 ),(x + 8)
sum of nos = 660
x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x=660
5x + 20 = 660
5x = 660 - 20
x = 640/5
x = 128
smallest no = x = 128
largest no = x + 8 = 128 + 8 = 136
sum = 128 + 132
= 260
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 5 consecutive even numbers are -
2x ; 2x+2 ; 2x+4 ; 2x+6 ; 2x+8
A/Q
the sum of 5 consecutive numbers is equal to 660
2x + (2x+2) + (2x+4) + (2x+6) + (2x+8) = 660
10x + 20 = 660
10x = 640
x = 64
greatest number = 2x+8
= 2×64+8
= 132
smallest number = 2x
= 2×64
= 128
sum of greatest and smallest number = 128+132
260
