The sum of 5 consecutive numbers equals 37

What are the 5 numbers?

Setup Relational Equation

1) Set up an equation where our numbers are n, n + 1, n + 2, n + 3, n + 4

2) We increment by 1 for each number since we have numbers.

3) We set this sum of consecutive numbers equal to 37

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) + (n + 4) = 37

Simplify this equation by grouping variables and constants together:

(n + n + n + n + n) + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 37

5n + 10 = 37

Subtract 10 from each side to isolate 5n:

5n + 10 - 10 = 37 - 10

Cancel the 10 on the left side and we get:

5n + 10 - 10 = 37 - 10

5n = 27

Divide each side of the equation by 5 to isolate n:

5n
5
=
  
27
5

Cancel the 5 on the left side:

5n
5
=
  
27
5

n = 5.4

Since n is not an integer, there are not 5 consecutive numbers which add up to 37
