Answer:
B. 56
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (x + 7 ) + ( x + 14 ) + ( x + 21 ) + ( x + 28 ) = 350
( x + x + x + x + x ) + ( 7 + 14 + 21 + 28 ) = 350
5x + 70 = 350
- 70 - 70
_____________
5x = 280
x = 56
Hope this helps!
The smallest number is 56, the correct option is B.
The sum is the output of the mathematical operation, Addition.
Let the first number is x, they are multiples of 7,
As they are multiples of 7, the consecutive numbers will be added by 7 for next term.
The 5 consecutive numbers can be written as x, (x+7), (x+14), (x+21), (x+28).
The equation can be formed for the numbers that are given as,
An equation is a mathematical statement that relates an algebraic expression with other expression by an equal sign.
The sum of the multiples is 350
x + (x + 7 ) + ( x + 14 ) + ( x + 21 ) + ( x + 28 ) = 350
Grouping the variables and the constants separately
( x + x + x + x + x ) + ( 7 + 14 + 21 + 28 ) = 350
5x + 70 = 350
Adding (-70) to both sides of the equation
5x = 280
Dividing both sides by 5
x = 56
The value of the first number of the series is obtained.
The first value is the smallest number of the series.
