    Step-by-step explanation:

    5 consecutive multiples of 5 ...

    x, x + 5, x + 10, x + 15, x + 20

    the average is 20 ...

    (x + x + 5 x + 10 + x + 15 + x + 20) / 5 = 20

    (5x + 50) / 5 = 20

    5x + 50 = 20 * 5

    5x + 50 = 100

    5x = 100 - 50

    5x = 50

    x = 50/5

    x = 10 ... smallest number

    x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15

    x + 10 = 10 + 10 = 20

    x + 15 = 10 + 15 = 25

    x + 20 = 10 + 20 = 30 <== = largest number
