Question

On Monday Godswill ate some grapes. On Tuesday he

Answer 1

For this case we have to:

Let "x" be the variable that represents the number of grapes Godswill ate on Monday, so we have:

• Monday:$x$

• Tuesday:$x + 6$

• Wednesday:$(x + 6) + 6 = x + 12$

• Thursday$: [(x + 6) +6] + 6 = x + 18$

• Friday:${[(x + 6) +6] +6} + 6 = x + 24$

Finally we have the following expression:

$x + x + 6 + x + 12 + x + 18 + x + 24 = 100$

We add similar terms:

$5x + (6 + 12 + 18 + 24) = 100\\5x + 60 = 100\\5x = 100-60\\5x = 40\\x = \frac {40} {5}\\x = 8$

So, on Monday he ate 8 grapes

Answer:

On Monday he ate 8 grapes.

Answer 2

Answer: He ate 8 grapes on Monday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of grapes Godswill ate on Monday.

You know that he ate 6 more grapes than he had on Monday. This can be expressed with:

$x+6$

Since each day that week, he ate 6 more grapes than the day before and he realized on Friday he had eaten a total of 100 grapes this week, you can write the following expression and solve for "x":

$x+(x+6)+(x+12)+(x+18)+(x+24)=100\\\\5x+60=100\\\\x=\frac{40}{5}\\\\x=8$
