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 .
