Answers
Answer:
Adding the sum up, we get: 25 + 27 + 29 + 31 + 33 = 145. So our 5 odd consecutive number added to get 145 are
Numbers are :
25 , 27, 29, 31 and 33.
Explanation :
Let the first consecutive number be x
Then, the second consecutive number be x +2
the 3rd consecutive number be x+ 4
the 4th consecutive number be x+6
the 5th consecutive number be x+8
A/q
=> x+ (x+2) + (x+4 )+ (x+6)+ (x+8) = 145
=> 5x+ 20 = 145
=> 5x = 145 -20
=> 5x= 125
=> x= 125/5
=> x= 25
Therefore,
1st number = 25
2nd number = 25+ 2 = 27
3rd number = 25 + 4 = 29
4th number = 25 + 6= 31
5th number = 25+ 8= 33
[ 25 + 27 + 29 + 31 + 33 = 145 ]
