each of my five digits is 1 more than the digit to its left. the sum of my digits is 20. what number am i?
:
Let n = the number on the far left
then
(n+1) = the 2nd number
(n+2) = the 3rd number
(n+3) = the 4th number
(n+4) = the 5 number
:
n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) + (n+4) = 20
5n + 10 = 20
5n = 20 -10
5n = 10
n = 2,
:
The number: 23456
