<PRE><B>Question 369897</B>
&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;Let x be the number of people who swam on the third day. &lt;br&gt;

Then we have:&lt;br&gt;

{{{79+(47+x)+x=246}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{126+2x=246}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{2x=120}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{x=60}}}&lt;br&gt;

&lt;b&gt;So it appears 60 people swam on the third day.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;

This means that 107 people swam on the second day.&lt;br&gt;

So 79+107+60 does indeed equal 246, so our math checks out.&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!&lt;br&gt;</PRE>
