Question

.The sum of five consecutive even numbers is 200. What is the sum of the next set of the consecutive even numbers?

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let x , x + 2 , x + 4 , x + 6 , x + 8 are

five consecutive even numbers.

According to the given problem,

Sum of these five consecutive even

numbers = 200

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 200

5x + 20 = 200

5x = 200 - 20

5x = 180

x = 180/ 5

x = 36

Therefore 5 consecutive even

numbers are

36 , 38 , 40 , 42 , 44

Next set of even numbers are

( 46 , 48 , 50 , 52 , 54 )

I hope this helps you.
