Question

the sum of two consecutive multiplies of 5 is 125 find the number​

Answer 1

let the two consecutive multiples of 5 be 5x and 5(x+1) respectively

According to the question:

5x + 5(x +1) = 125

=> 5x + 5x + 5 = 125

=> 10x = 120

=> x = $\frac{120}{10}$

=> x = 12

The numbers are:

5x = 5× 12 = 60

5(x + 1) = 5(12 + 1) = 65

Answer 2

Answer:

1st no=60, 2nd no=65

Explanation:

let x be multiple of 5

(x)+(x+5)=125

2x+5=125

2x=120

x=60.
