Solution :
\n" ); document.write( "here it is given that A,B,C,D and E are the five consecutive numbers then we can take assume that Let the first consecutive number is x . \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "hence the other four consecutive number must be:
\n" ); document.write( "B = x + 2 , C= x + 4, D = x + 6 , E = x + 8 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "also second condition say that sum of B and E IS 138\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "B + E = 138
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 + x + 8 = 138
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 10 = 138 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x = 138 - 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 128/ 2 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 64 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "hnce the five even consecutive numbers are: 64, 66, 68, 70, 72\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thanks ,
