Answer:
{36, 38, 40, 42, 44}
Step-by-step explanation:
You are implying that you are adding up 5 consecutive numbers, and should use the word "add" or the word "sum."
"The sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers is 200" leads to:
x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) + (x+8) = 200. Note how each number is 2 more than the number preceding it. In this way you can guarantee that all of the 5 numbers are odd.
Summing up, we get 5x + 20 = 200, or 5x = 180.
Dividing both sides by 5, we get x = 36.
Then the 5 consecutive integers are
{36, 38, 40, 42, 44}. These add up to 200.
Unfortunately, these are consecutive EVEN numbers, not odd numbers.
