1) 20
2) 22
3) 24
4) 26

Answer 1

Keenan plans to do a total of 11 pushups each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are given that Keenan currently does 8 pushups each day and plans to increase the number of pushups by 2 each day until he reaches a total of 30 pushups. To find out how many pushups Keenan plans to do each day, we can set up an equation:

Let's assume Keenan plans to do 'x' pushups each day.

Based on the given information, we can set up the equation: 8 + 2x = 30.

Solving this equation, we subtract 8 from both sides to isolate 2x and then divide both sides by 2: 2x = 30 - 8 = 22. Finally, dividing both sides by 2, we get the value of x: x = 22 / 2 = 11.

Therefore, Keenan plans to do a total of 11 pushups each day.
