Problema Solution
Productivity for an agency was 350,000 units more for the second year than the first, and productivity for the third year was double the productivity for the second year.
If productivity for the third year was 806,000 units, what was productivity for the first year?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
x = the productivity for the first year
x + 350,000 = the productivity for the second year
2(x + 350,000) = the productivity for the third year
2(x + 350,000) = 806,000
