Question

the sum of consecutive odd number is95. find the number​

Answer 1

Let 5 consecutive odd number be, x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8

sum of integers = 5x + 20 = 95

=> 5x = 95-20

=> 5x = 75

$=> \: x = \frac{75}{5}$

$=> \: x = 15$

and integers are,

1. x = 15
2. x+2 = 15+2 = 17
3. x+4 = 15+4 = 19
4. x+6 = 15+6 = 21
5. x+8 = 15+8 = 23

Verification :-

• 15+17+19+21+23 = 95
