Question

The sum of 5 consecutive number is 140. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Let the no. x, x+1,x+2,x+4,x+3
Their sum = x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4= 140
5x+10= 140
5x=130
x= 26
Therefore the no is. 26,27,28,29,30.

Answer 2

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sum of the 5 consecutive number = 140

To find :

The Numbers

Solution :

Let the Numbers be -

• x
• (x + 1)
• (x + 2)
• (x + 3)
• (x + 4)

➨ x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) = 140

➨ x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4

= 140

➨ 5x + 10 = 140

➨ 5x = 140 - 10

➨ 5x = 130

➨ x = 130/5

➨ x = 26

One Number = 26

Other Numbers =

➨ (x + 1) = 26 + 1 = 27

➨ (x + 2) = 26 + 2 = 28

➨ (x + 3) = 26 + 3 = 29

➨ (x + 4) = 26 + 4 = 30

$\therefore$ The Numbers are 26,27,28,29 and 30.
