complete question :
Carly mowed 2 more lawns than Rocco each week for 6 weeks. Carly mowed a total of 18 lawns. How many lawns did Rocco mow each week?
Answer:
Rocco mow 1 lawn for each week .
Explanation:
For each week Carly mows 2 more lawn than Rocco . This pattern continued for 6 weeks .
Carly mowed a total of 18 lawns . The number of lawns Rocco mow each week can be calculated below.
Let
number of lawn Rocco mowed for each week = x
number of lawn mowed by Carly for each week = x + 2
For 6 week the same pattern continued.
number of lawn mowed by Carly for 6 weeks = 6(x + 2)
18 = 6(x + 2)
18 = 6x + 12
6x = 18 - 12
6x = 6
divide both side by 6
x = 6/6
x = 1
Rocco mow 1 lawn for each week .
