Question

the sum of three consecutive mumtiples of 5 is 60. find the number.

Answer 1

       $\text{\huge \bf \underline{Answer:}}$

       $\text{Let the three multiples of 5 be }5x - 5, 5x, 5x + 5$

$\implies \text{According to the question:}$

       $5x - 5 + 5x + 5x + 5 = 60$

$\implies 15x = 60$

$\implies x = \dfrac{60}{15}$

$\implies x = 4$

$\implies \text{The three numbers are:}$

$\implies \boxed{\boxed{5x - 5 \longrightarrow 5(4) - 5 \longrightarrow 20 - 5 \longrightarrow 15}}$

$\implies \boxed{\boxed{5x \longrightarrow 5(4) \longrightarrow 20}}$

$\implies \boxed{\boxed{5x + 5 \longrightarrow 5(4) + 5 \longrightarrow 20 + 5 \longrightarrow 25}}$
