The sum of five consecutive is number 1000 . find the numbers? |
|
Answer» The NUMBERS are: 198, 199, 200, 201 and 202 If we let the smallest of the five consecutive integers be , then the other 4 consecutive integers, by definition of "consecutive" would be: x + 1 , x + 2 , x + 3 and x + 4
These five integers equal 1,000 so we can write: x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 = 1000
We can now solve for x : 5 x + 10 = 1000
5 x + 10 − 10 = 1000 − 10
5 x + 0 = 990
5 x = 990
5 x 5 = 990 5
5 x 5 = 198
x = 198
Then: x + 1 = 199
x + 2 = 200
x + 3 = 201
x + 4 = 202 Step-by-step explanation: hope this will help you and please give me a like and mark as BRAINLIEST answer |
