a bat ate 1050 dragon flies on four consective nights. Each night she ate 25 more than the night before . How many did she eat each night ?
Let x be the number for the first night.....so we have
(x) + (x + 25) + (x + 25 + 25) + (x + 25 + 25 + 25) = 1050 simplify
4x + 150 = 1050 subtract 150 from each side
4x = 900 divide both sides by 4
x = 225
So....the number for each night are
225..250..275..300
