Answer 2

I'm guessing you mean to say that sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers is 135. In that case, let x be the first number. Then

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) = 135

5x + 20 = 135

5x = 115

x = 23

So the numbers are 23, 25, 27, 29, and 31.

If you really did mean 555 consecutive odd numbers summing to 135,135,135, the process is the same, but you would find a non-integer solution so that wouldn't be possible.
