Question

The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 270

Answer 1

Hello!

This can be written as

(x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) = 270

Add all the values

5x + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 270

Combine like terms

5x + 10 = 270

Subtract 10 from both sides

5x = 260

Divide both sides by 5

x = 52

So the numbers are 52, 53, 54, 55, 56,

Hope this helps!
