Question

the sum of five consecutive odd number is 85 find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the first no be X+1 then

2nd no=X+3

3rd no=X+5

4th no =X+7

5th no= X+9

Step-by-step explanation:

A/Q,

(X+1)+(X+3)+(X+5)+(X+7)+(X+9)=85

X+1+X+3+X+5+X+7+X+9=85

=5x+25=85

5x=85-25

5x=60

X=60÷5

X=12

hence 1st no=12+1=13

2nd=12+3=15

3rd=12+5=17

4th=12+7=19

5th=12+9=21

verification= 13+15+17+19+21=85
