Answer:
The sum of three consecutive odd no is 87 . Find the numbers ?
The three consecutive odd numbers can be written as x,x+2,x+4 . According to the given question, the sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 87 . The value of x is 27 . Hence, three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 87 are 27,29 and 31 .
The sum of two numbers is 80 . If the larger number exceeds four times the smaller by 5 , what is the smaller number ?
Given, sum of two numbers is 80.
Let the smaller number be x.
Thus the larger will be 80−x.
Also given, larger number exceeds four times the smaller number by 5.
Therefore, 80−x=4x+5
⇒5x=75
⇒x=15
Thus the smaller number is 15.
