Answer 2

Given

Sum of two consecutive multiples of 5 ⇒ 95

$\rule{300}{1}$

To Find

The smaller consecutive number.

$\rule{300}{1}$

Solution

Let one of the consecutive number be ⇒ 'x'

The other number would be ⇒ x + 5

Sum of the consecutive numbers ⇒ 95

To find the consecutive numbers we must solve this equation ⇒ x+x+5 = 95

Let's solve your equation step-by-step

x+x+5 = 95

Step 1: Simplify the equation.

x+x+5 = 95

2x+5 = 95

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.

2x+5-5 = 95-5

2x = 90

Step 3: Divided 2 from both sides of the equation.

2x÷2 = 90÷2

x = 45

Since we got the value of 'x' we can find the consecutive multiples of 5 that sum upto 95.

One consecutive number ⇒ x ⇒ 45

Second consecutive number ⇒ x+5 ⇒ 45+5 ⇒ 50

45+50 = 95

∴ 45 and 50 are two consecutive numbers that sum upto 95.

∴ 45 is the smaller number.
