Question

The sum of 5 successive integers is 120.
What is the third number in the series?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4 be 5 successive integers

ATQ

x+(x + 1)+(x + 2)+(x + 3)+(x + 4) = 120

5x + 10 = 120

5x = 120-10

5x = 110

x = 22

So, the integers are 22, 23, 24, 25, 26

The third number in the series is 24
