Question

If 5 consecutive integers sum to 255, the largest of the 5 is?

Answer 1

Answer:

53

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x + 1) + (x +2) + (x +3) + (x +4) = 255

5x + 10 = 255

5x = 255 - 10

5x = 245

x = 245/5

x = 49

Thus, the largest of the five consecutive numbers = x + 4

= 49 + 4

= 53
