Question 433377: the sum of five consecutive numbers is 190.what is the sum of the largest and the smallest numbers

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let the first number be x so all the consecutive numbers are:
x,x+1,x+2,x+3,x+4
The sum of these:
x+x+1+x++,x+3+x+4=190
5x+10=190
5x=180
x=36
so your first number (x)=36,
your consecutive numbers are
36 37 38 39 40
the sum of the smallest and largest numbers is 36+40=76
