the sum of five consecutive number are 80 find the number
Answers
Answer:
Consecutive numbers are
= x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 = 5x + 10
5x + 10 = 80
5x = 80 - 10
x = 70 / 5 = 14
x + 1 = 14 + 1 = 15
∴ Numbers are 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18

The five consecutive numbers are 14,15,16,17 and 18.
Given :
The sum of five consecutive numbers = 80
To find :
The numbers
Solution :
Let the first number be x
Hence, the second number = x + 1
The third number = x + 2
The fourth number = x + 3
The fifth number = x + 4
According to the problem,
=> x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 = 80
=> 5x + 10 = 80
=> 5x = 80-10
=> 5x = 70
=> x = 70/5 = 14
Hence, the first number = 14
The second number = 14 + 1 = 15
The third number = 14 + 2 = 16
The fourth number = 14 + 3 = 17
The fifth number = 14 + 4 = 18
Hence, the five consecutive numbers are 14,15,16,17 and 18.
