Hey! >_^

Let the first number be x

Let the second number be x+2

Let the third number be x+4

Let the fourth number be x+6

Let the fifth number be x+8

Btp,

x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8=135

=> 5x=135-20

=>5x=115

=>x=23

THEREFORE,
The 5 numbers are 23,25,27,29,31

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU...

Let the number n.

Given, the sum of 5 consecutive odd number is 135.

 
n + (n+2) + (n+4) + (n+6) + (n+8) = 135

 5n + 20 = 135

5n = 115

n = 23.


So, the numbers are 23,25,27,29,31.


Verification : 

23 + 25 + 27 + 29 + 31 = 135.


Hope this helps!
