Question 666490: a business website was accessed as often on the first day of a promotion as on the next 2 days combined. the first day hits were four times those on the third. the second day hits were 4000 more than the third. how many were there each day? Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Establish variables
x = first day
y = second day
z = third day
...
Given
x = y+z
x = 4z
y = 4000+z
...
Set both x values as equivalent
y+z = 4z
Substitute the value of y
4000 + z + z = 4z
Isolate z
4000 = 4z - z - z
2z = 4000
Divide both sides by 2
z = third day
...
x = 4(2000) = first day
...
y = 4000 + 2000 = second day
...
Check
x = 6000 + 2000 = 8000
