The sum of five consecutive numbers is 700, what is the first number?

The first number is 138.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x.

Then since they are consecutive numbers, the second number will be (x + 1), the third (x + 2), the fourth (x + 3) and the fifth being (x + 4).

We are given that their sum is 700. Therefore:

Solve for x. Combine like terms:

Subtract 10 from both sides:

Divide both sides by five. Therefore:

The first number is 138.
