Question

The sum of five consecutive natural numbers is 50. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 5 consecutive natural numbers be :

x , x+1 , x+2 , x+3 , x+4

According to question

x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4 = 50

5x+10=50

5x=50-10

5x=40

x=40/5

x=8

So,

5 consecutive natural numbers are

x = 8

x + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9

x + 2 = 8 +2 = 10

x + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11

x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12

Hope you understand.

Answer 2

Answer:

let the number be x

then, x , 2x , 3x , 4x , 5x

x+2x+3x+4x+5x=50

15x=50

x=50/15

x=10/3

first natural number=10/3

second natural number=2*10/3=20/3

third natural number=3*10/3=30/3=10

fourth natural number=4*10/3=40/3

fifth natural number=5*10/3=50/3
