Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let an odd number be x

ie, consecutive odd numbers are : x, x+2 , x+4, x+6, x+8

According to the statement,

x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8 = 85

5x + 20 = 85

5x = 85-20

5x = 65

x = 65/5

x = 13

Therefore the required number is 13

Answer 2

let the unknown value be x

5  consecutive  numbers are = x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8

5 x + 20 =85

x = 13

x = 13

x+2 = 15

x+4 = 17

x+6 =19

x+8 = 21
