Let's start
Question - The sum of two consecutive multiples of 5 is 55. Find these multiples.
Answer - Let the first multiple of 5 be x.
Then the other multiple of 5 will be x + 5 and their sum = 55
Therefore, x + x + 5 = 55
2x + 5 = 55
2x = 55 - 5
2x = 50
x = 50/2
x = 25
Therefore, the multiples of 5, i.e., x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30
Therefore, the two consecutive multiples of 5 whose sum is 55 are 25 and 30.
