Answer:
The second number is 100.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first integer be x.
Then since the five integers are consecutive, the second integer will be (x + 1), the third (x + 2), fourth (x + 3), and the fifth (x + 4).
They total 505. Hence:
[tex]\displaystyle x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)=505[/tex]
Solve for x. Combine like terms:
[tex]5x+10=505[/tex]
Subtract 10 from both sides:
[tex]5x=495[/tex]
And divide both sides by five. Hence:
[tex]x=99[/tex]
Thus, our sequence is 99, 100, 101, 102, and 103.
The second number is 100.
