the sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 200

Question

whats the fifth number in this sequence

Answer 1

Hi, Judan

Let the numbers be:

x, x + 2, x +4, x + 6, x + 8

 

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 200

5x = 200 - 20 = 180

x = 36

 

so, the numbers are 36, 38, 40, 42, 44

The 5th number in the sequence is 44
