Question

the the sum of five consecutive odd natural numbers is 165 what are the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the sum of five consecutive odd natural no. be x , x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4,

according to the question,

x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4 = 165

or, 5x = 165-10

or, 5x = 155

or, x = 155/5

x = 31

Therefore, the first no.= x = 31

2nd no. = x+1 = 31+1 = 32

3rd no. = x+2 = 31+2 = 33

4th no.= x+3 = 31+3 = 34

5th no. = x+4 = 31+4 = 35

Hence, the numbers are 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35.
