Question

If the sum of five consecutive odd integers is 115, what is the smallest of the five integers?

Answer 1

divide 115 by five to find the middle number

Answer 2

if say... we had an odd number like hmmm 7
what would be the "next or consecutive odd" integer?

Answer 3

let n+1,n+3,n+5,n+7,n+9 be consecutive odd integers whose sum is 115
n+1+n+3+n+5+n+7+n+9=115
5 n+25=115
5 n=115-25=90
n=90/5=18
smallest number is 18+1=19
