SOLUTION: SAT Practice Test question: "When 5 consecutive odd integers that are each greater than 34 are added, what is the smallest possible sum?"

There are two ways to get the answer.


1.  First way is to write the potentially good sequence 

         35, 37, 39, 41, 42

    and calculate its sum.



2.  The other way is to take the middle term of this sequence and to multiply it by 5.



3.  You can do it in both ways and compare your results.

    They must be identical, and it is your test.
