Question

The sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers is 135. What is the second number in this sequence?

Answer 1

The sum of the 5 consecutive odd numbers is:

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

The second number is 25

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

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

--> 5x + 20 = 135

--> 5x = 115

--> x = 115/5

= 23

if x - 23

then x+2 = 23+2 = 25

25 = 2nd number in sequence
