Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 5 is 65. Find the numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The nos. are 16.67, 21.67 and 26.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the nos. be x, (x+5), (x+10)

Sum of the nos. = 65

x+x+5+x+10 = 65

3x + 15 = 65

3x = 65 - 15

3x = 50

x = $\frac{50}{3}$

x = 16.67

The nos. are -

x = 16.67

x+5 = 16.67+5 = 21.67

x+10 = 16.67+10 = 26.67
