Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 5 is 555 . find these numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

let the multiple be 'x'

so,the consecutive multiples would be

x , x+5 , x+10

their sum is 555

means_

(x) + (x+5) + (x+10) = 555

so,

x+x+5+x+10=555

3x+15=555

3x= 555-15

3x =540

x= 540/3

x=180

Now,

x+5

=180+5

=185

x+10

=180+10

=190

therefore,

the consecutive multiples are 180, 185 , 190.
