Answer:
Hey!
Your answer is 44!
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's how...
x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)=200
5x+20=200 (minus 20 on both sides to get 5x by itself)
5x=180 (divide both sides by 5 to get just x)
x=36
5th number - x+8=36+8=44 (simple substitution and addition)
I HOPE THIS HELPS!
Answer:
38
Step-by-step explanation:
let x-2,x-1,x,x+1,x+2 be five consecutive numbers and x-2 is smallest number.
x-2+x-1+x+x+1+x+2=200
5x=200
x=200/5=40
x-2=40-2=38
smallest number is 38
