: Please help me solve this equation:
Using a System of Three equations.
10.) Pat picked strawberries on three days. he picked a total of 87 quarts. on tuesday he picked 15 quarts more than on monday. on Wednesday he picked 3 quarts fewer than on tuesday. How many quarts did he pick each day? This question is from textbook Prentice Hall Algebra 2 with trigonometry
You can put this solution on YOUR website! lets call x the number he picked on monday
tuesday = x+15
wednesday= x+15(-3)=x+12
so x+(x+15)+(x+12)=87
3x+27=87
3x=60 number picked on monday picked on tuesday picked on wednesday
