In 24 hours, the worm climbs 5 feet.
7-2= 5 (the worm falls 2 feet every night)
So,
5*8=40
It will take bruce's worm about 8 days to get to the top of the well.
I hope this helps!

This question is referred to two similar triangles.
One triangle has sides x and x - 2.
The other triangle has the respective sides x + x + 5 and x - 2 + x + 1
Then you can state a proportionality relation between the sides>
[x + x + 5] / x = [x - 2 + x + 1] / [x - 2]
=> [2x + 5] / x = [2x - 1] / [x - 2]
=> (2x + 5)(x - 2) = (2x - 1)x
=> 2x^2 - 4x + 5x - 10 = 2x^2 - x
=> x - 10 = - x
=> 2x = 10
=> x = 10 / 2
=> x = 5
Answer: x = 5
