MACHO ATE 125 HOT DOGS OVER A FIVE DAY PERIOD.  EACH DAY HE AT SEVEN MORE HOT DOGS THAN ON THE PREVIOUS DAY.  HOW MANY HOT DOGS DID HE EAT ON THE FIRST DAY?

Reiny · Accepted Answer

first day --> x 2nd day --> x+7 etc x + x+7 + x+14 + x+21 + x+28 = 125 5x = 55 x = 11

Henry · Answer

x = (x+7) + (x+14) + (x+21) + (x+28) = 125, 5x + 70 = 125, 5x = 125 - 70 = 55, x = 11.

Nicole · Answer

I agree 100% with that answer and I understand all of it besides: 5x + 70 = 125 please help

Henry · Answer

X + (X + 7) + (X + 14) + (X + 21) + (X + 28) = 125. X + X + X + X + X = 5X. 7 + 14 + 21 + 28 = 70. 5X + 70 = 125 5X = 125 - 70 = 55 X = 11. I'm glad i could help.
