Question

The first aircraft has 76 more seats than the second aircraft. The third aircraft has 42 fewer seats than the second Kaircraft. If their total number of seats is 385, find the number of seats for each aircraft.

The first aircraft has __ seats

Answer 1

The first aircraft has seats = x + 76
The second aircraft has seats = x
The third aircraft has seats = x - 42

The total number of seats is 385, so we can set up the equation:
(x + 76) + x + (x - 42) = 385

Simplifying the equation will help us find the number of seats for each aircraft.
