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:
| = |
| 27 |
| 5 |
n = 5.4
Since n is not an integer, there are not 5 consecutive numbers which add up to 37
