let x km be the distance walked on Monday
distance walked n Tuesday = x km+500 m
= (x+0.5) km
distance walked on Wednesday =x+0.5+0.5
= (x+1)km
distance walked on Thursday = x+1+0.5
=(x+1.5) km
distance walked on Friday = x+1.5+0.5
= (x+2) km
distance walked on Saturday = (x+2.5) Km
Distance walked on Sunday =(x+3 )km
Total distance walked from Monday to Sunday = x+ x+0.5+x+1+x+1.5+x+2+x+2.5+x+3
= 7x+10.5
but total distance = 24.5 Km
7x+10.5 =24.5
7x = 24.5-10.5
7x =14
divide with 7 on both sides

x= 2 km
Distance walked on Monday (x)=2 KM
