Question

The sum of five consecutive numbers are
85. Find the numbers.(Lesson name is (Linear Equation))​

Answer 1

Answer:

14 , 15 , 16 , 17 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x , (x + 1) , (x + 2) , (x + 3) , (x + 4)

 x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 = 85

⇒ 5x + 15 = 85

⇒5x = 85 - 15

⇒5x = 70

∴ x = 14

Thus the numbers are :

x = 14

(x + 1) = 14 + 1 = 15

(x + 2) = 14 + 2 = 16

(x + 3) = 14 + 3 = 17

(x + 4) = 14 + 4 = 18
