The average of the five consecutive numbers ending with b in discuss when expressed in terms of a is; Choice D; a+3.

What is the average of five consecutive integers ending with b?

First, since it was given in the task content that the average of six positive consecutive odd integers starting with a is equal to b, it therefore follows that;

(a+a+2+a+4+a+6+a+8+a+10)/6 = b

6b=6a+30

b=a+5

Also, let the average of the consecutive intergers ending with b be denoted by; x.

(b+b-1+b-2+b-3+b-4)/5 = x

=(5b-10)/5

=b–2

The average, x=b – 2 (where b = a-5)

Ultimately, the value of the required average is; = a+5-2 = a+3.
