Question

Megan went to the beach 34 times last summer. She went 6 more times in July than she did in June. She went twice as many times in August as she did in June.
how many times did Megan went to the beach during each month?

Answer 1

Megan went to beach 34 times last summer.
June =  x
July = 6 * june
August =  2 * june
Thus Let’s find the value of june, which is the value of x as a variable:
Equation:
x + 6x + 2x = 34
Solution:
=> x + 6x + 2x = 34
=> 9x = 34
=> 9x / 9 = 34 / 9
=> x = 3.7778, since this is a decimal, let’s round this off to 3.78
Let’s check our answer
=> 4 + 6(4) + 2(4)
=> 4 + 24 + 8
=> 36 approximately.
