Question

The sum of 5 consecutive numbers is 15. Find them

Answer 1

$\huge \underline \mathfrak {Solution:-}$

Let the five consecutive number be x-1,

x - 2, x, x +1 and x + 2.

According to question,

Sum of these five consecutive number is 15.

x -2 + x - 1 + x + 1 + x + 2 = 15

5x = 15

x = 3

So,

x - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2

x -2 = 3 - 2 = 1

x + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4

x + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

So, the five consecutive number are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let numbers be

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

According to question

x +(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4) = 15

5x +5 = 15

5(x+1) = 15

x+1 = 15/5

x +1 = 3

x = 2

Numbers will be

x = 2

x+1 = 3

x+2 = 4

x+3 = 5

x+4 = 6
