Agirl scout troop sold cookies. if the girls sold 5 more boxes the second week than they did the first, and if they double the sales of the second week for the third week to sell a total of 431 boxes of cookies, how many did they sell each week?

Boxes sold first week = 104

Boxes sold second week =x+5= 104+5=109

Boxes sold third  week = 109 times 2= 218

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of boxes sold in first week

the girls sold 5 more boxes the second week

So number of boxes sold in second week is x+5

they double the sales of the second week for the third week

So number of boxes sold in third week is 2 (x+5)

Total boxes sold is 431

subtract 15 from both sides

divide by 4 on both sides

Boxes sold first week = 104

Boxes sold second week =x+5= 104+5=109

Boxes sold third  week = 104 times 2= 218

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.

step-by-step explanation:

i think the answer is b x = 1, y = 35/2
