Question

the sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers is 85.Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

X = 12. If the five numbers add to 85, then their average is 17. That means the five numbers must be 13, 15, 17, 19, 21.

Answer 2

Answer:

let the numbers be,

x-4, x -2 x , x+ 2, x +4 ( since they are consecutive odd numbers, so their difference should be 2)

,

according to question,

x -4 + x - 2 +x + x +2 + x + 4 = 85

=> 5x = 85

=> x = 85/5 = 17

so, the numbers are :

• x - 4 = 17 -4 = 13
• x -1 = 17 - 2 = 15
• x = 17
• x +2 = 17 +2 = 19
• x +4 = 17 +4 = 21
