Question

sum of two consecutive multiples of 5 is 85 find them​

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

Let the two consecutive number is,

x & x+1

So,

Multiple of 5.

⚫5(x) = 5x

⚫5(x+1)= 5x +5

Now,

=) 5x + 5x + 5= 85

=) 10x +5 = 85

=) 10x = 85 -5

=) 10x = 80

=) x = 80/10

=) x= 8

Thus,

1st number, 5x = 5×8= 40

2nd number,5x+5 = 5×8+5

=) 40+5

=) 45

Hope it helps ☺️
