Question

The some of 5 consecutive numbers is 140. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

26, 27, 28, 29 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 5 consecutive numbers be x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3, x + 4.

The sum of 5 consecutive numbers,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 = 140

x + x + x + x + x + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 140

5x + 10 = 140

5x = 140 - 10

x = 130 / 5

x = 26

x + 1 = 27

x + 2 = 28

x + 3 = 29

x + 4 = 30

The numbers are 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30.
