Ok so

x - the smallest
The other 4 are : x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4
We know that sum is 120
So
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4=120
Combine like terms
5x+10=120
Subtract 10 on both sides
5x=120-10
5x=110
Divide by 5 on both sides
X=22
The third number is x+2 = 22+2=24

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

Bulb box and carton both are of cuboidal shape.

For bulb box the dimensions are:

l = 5 cm, w = 4 cm, h = 4 cm

$V_{Bulb\: box} =lwh$

$\implies V_{Bulb\: box} =5(4)(4)$

$\implies V_{Bulb\: box} =80\: cm^3$

For Carton the dimensions are:

l = 50 cm, w = 20 cm, h = 20 cm

$V_{Carton} =lwh$

$\implies V_{Carton} =50(20)(20)$

$\implies V_{Bulb\: box} =20,000\: cm^3$

To find the number of bulbs packed in the carton, divide the $V_{Carton}$ by $V_{Bulb\: box}$

$Number \:of \:bulbs =\frac{V_{Carton}}{V_{Bulb\: box}}$

$\implies Number \:of \:bulbs =\frac{20,000}{80}$

$\implies Number \:of \:bulbs = 250$

So, 250 bulbs will be packed in one carton.
