The sum of 5 consecutive odd integers is 285. find
the 5 integers.

They are 53, 55, 57, 59 and 61.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the integers as x, x+2, x+4, x+6 and x+8, so

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 285

5x + 20 = 285

5x = 265

x = 53.

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.

answer: x=60
