5 Consecutive Numbers with an Increment of 5 5) What five consecutive numbers total 1,285, and with each following number being 5 more than the one before it? n + (n + 5) + (n + 10) + (n + 15) + (n + 20) = 1285 5n + 50 = 1285 5n = 1235 n = 247 Since n = "247," then plugging that into the "n" variable in the terms above, we come up with the following: 247 (n) 252 (n + 5) 257 (n + 10) 262 (n + 15) 267 (n + 20) ----------------- 1,285 (total)
