Question

The sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 200. what is the fifth number in this sequence

Answer 1

Answer: 44

solution: x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)=200
5x+20=200
5x=180
x=36
5th number - x+8=36+8=44

Answer 2

Answer:

The fifth number in this sequence is 44.        

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 200.

To find : What is the fifth number in this sequence?

Solution :

Let the 5 consecutive even numbers are x,(x+2),(x+4),(x+6),(x+8)

The sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 200.

i.e. $x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) = 200$

Solving the equation,

$5x+20= 200$

$5x=180$

$x=\frac{180}{5}$

$x=36$

So, The numbers are

First number x=36

Second number x+2=36+2=38

Third number x+4=36+4=40

Fourth number x+6=36+6=42

Fifth number x+8=36+8=44

Therefore, The fifth number in this sequence is 44.
