Question 173166
ms.noemi jogged at a total distance mof 6600 yards in threee nights.If each night she incr5eased her distance to 440 yards,how far did she jog on the first night.
----------
1st night distance: x
2nd night distance:x+440
3rd night distance: x+440+440 = x+880
--------------------
Equation:
x + x+440 + x+880 = 6600
3x + 1320 = 6600
3x = 5280
x = 1760 yrds.(1st night distance)
