Problema Solution
Bobby's goal is to gain 2 pounds per week. After 3 weeks, his weight is up to 158 pounds. Write an equation, If the rate of weight gain stays the same at the end of each week
Answer provided by our tutors
Let X be the weight at the start of 1st week
Therefore, X+2 will be the weight at the end of 1st week
Similarly X+4 at the end of 2nd week
And X+6 at the end of 3rd week..which is also equal to 158
there fore X+6 = 158..
this is the required equation ..and we can find the value of X and weights of corresponding weeks accordingly..
