Use the equation 300⇒5x to find how much tim made each day on average. 
x⇒60   so, Day 1: $60, Day 2: $70 etc.. so the equation 300=5x+10 suffices the problem. 300⇒5x+10 ⇒    290=5x
x=58
So, Tim earned $58 his first day. Hope this helped.

The given problem is based on arithmetic sequence
Sn = 300 (the sum of money in five days)
d = 10 (the difference day by day)
n = 5
The question asks how much Tim earn on the first day, we write it as a₁

The general formula to find the sum of a sequence is
n/2 (2a₁ + d(n-1)) = Sn

Input the numbers to the formula to find the value of a₁
n/2 (2a₁ + d(n-1)) = Sn
5/2 (2a₁ + 10(5-1)) = 300
5/2 (2a₁ + 10(4)) = 300
5/2 (2a₁ + 40) = 300
2a₁ + 40 = 300 × 2/5
2a₁ + 40 = 120
2a₁ = 120 - 40
2a₁ = 80
  a₁ = 80/2
  a₁ = 40

The first day, Tim earned $40

Working together,edith and rupert can pick 3 quarts of blueberries in an hours.how many quarts can they pick in 7 hours?
expeople1 [14]
Since they pick 3 quarts in 1 hour they can pick 6 quarts in 2 hours and 9 quarts in 3 and so on. So the number of quarts they can pick in a certain amount of hours is just the total number of hours they spend picking times 3 quarts. So since they picked for 7 hours and each of those hours they picked 3 quarts, in total they picked 21 quarts

7 x 3 = 21 quarts
