let one of the multiple be x
then another will be( x+5)
x +x +5=55
2x = 50
x = 25
and x + 5 = 30
then another will be( x+5)
x +x +5=55
2x = 50
x = 25
and x + 5 = 30

Let the consecutive number be x.
So two consecutive will be x, x+1
So the two consecutive multiples of 5 will be x, x+5
Now, x+x+5= 55
2x+5=55
2x=55-5
2x=50
x=50%2
x=25
Therefore, two consecutive multiples of five will be
x=25
x+5=25+5=30
