Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 5 is 555. Find the multiples.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be = x, x+5,x+10

According to the question

$x + x + 5 + x + 10 = 55 \\ \\ = 3x + 15 = 555 \\ \\ 3x = 555 + 15 \\ \\ 3x = 540 \\ \\ x = \frac{540}{3} \\ \\ x = 180$

‎ ‎

So, numbers are -

$\rightarrow$x=180

$\rightarrow$x+5=185

$\rightarrow$x+10=190

Answer 2

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• The sum of three consecutive multiples of 5 is 555.

To Find :-

• The multiples.

Step-by-Step-Explaination :-

Let,

The first multiple be x

The second multiple be x + 5

The third multiple be x + 10

According to the question,

x + x + 5 + x + 10 = 555

3x + 15 = 555

3x = 555 - 15

3x = 540

x = 540/3

x = 180

Thus,

The value of x is 180

Therefore,

The first multiple = x = 180

The second multiple = x + 5 = 180 + 5 = 185

The third multiple = x + 10 = 180 + 10 = 190

Hence,

The three consecutive multiples of 5 are 180, 185 and 190
