The first numberis 9 The second number is 5 The third number is 8 The fourth number is 6 The fifth number 8 I represented all of the five numbers in terms of the second number. For simplicity reasons, I used A as the first number, B as the second number, C as the third number, D as the fourth number and E as the fifth bumber. A = 2B + 1 B = B C = 13- B D = B + 1 E = B + 3 ( SOLVING THE EQUATION E + 13 - B = 16 I solved A + B + C + D + E = 36 USING THE ONLY UNKNOWN AS B. B = 5
