Answer:
Number of push up = 8 + 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Keenan can do 8 push ups each day. He plans to do 2 extra day until he is doing 30 push ups. Each day he does an additional 2 push up, on the first day he does 8 + 2 = 10 push up, on the second day he does 10 + 2 = 12 push ups. This can be represented by the expression:
Number of push up = 8 + 2x
where x is the number of days.
To do 30 push ups, we can calculate the number of days needed:
30 = 8 + 2x
2x = 30 - 8
2x = 22
x = 11
