GP 4 Week 3 Reflection (DUE 4/17)
A bat ate a total of 1050 dragon flies on four consecutive nights. Each night she ate 25 more than on the night before. How many did she eat each night? Solve this algebraically
x = the number of flies eaten on the first night. The 2nd night is x + 25, the 3rd night is x + 50, and the 4th night is x + 75. The equation is x + x + 25 + x + 50 + x + 75 = 1050 or 4x + 150 = 1050. Subtract 150 from both side and that leaves 4x = 900.Divde both sides by 4 and that leaves x = 225. So the first night was 225, the 2nd night was 250, the 3rd night was 275, and the 4th night was 300. 225 + 250 + 275 + 300 = 1050.
I agree with DaJon. The equation would be x + x + 25 + x + 50 + x + 75 = 1050 or 4x + 150 = 1050. I subtracted 150 and got 900. 4x= 900. I then divide by 4 and got x= 225. 225 + (225+25) + (250 + 25) + (275 + 25) = 1050.
I agree with Dajon. If you use X to represent the number of dragon flies the bat ate each day, you can use the equation x+x+25+x+50+x+75=1050 which simplified is 4x+150=1050. Since 150 and 1050 are both like terms, subtract 150 from 1050, which equals 900. 4x=900 divide 900 by 4, which x=225. Plug 225 in for x 4(225)+150=1050. Therefore the bat ate 225 the first night. Since the bat ate 25 more each day, add 25 to 225, which is 250. Then day 3 is 275, and day 4 is 300. 225+250+275+300=1050
I agree with DaJon. The equation would be x + x + 25 + x + 50 + x + 75 = 1050 or 4x + 150 = 1050. I subtracted 150 and got 900. 4x= 900. I then divide by 4 and got x= 225. 225 + (225+25) + (250 + 25) + (275 + 25) = 1050.
x = the number of flies eaten on the first night. The 2nd night is x + 25, the 3rd night is x + 50, and the 4th night is x + 75. The equation is x + x + 25 + x + 50 + x + 75 = 1050 or 4x + 150 = 1050. Subtract 150 from both side and that leaves 4x = 900.Divde both sides by 4 and that leaves x = 225. So the first night was 225, the 2nd night was 250, the 3rd night was 275, and the 4th night was 300. 225 + 250 + 275 + 300 = 1050.
x = the number of flies eaten on the first night. The second night is x + 25, the third night is x + 50, and the fourth night is x + 75. The equation is x + x + 25 + x + 50 + x + 75 = 1050 or 4x + 150 = 1050. Subtract 150 from both side and that leaves 4x = 900. Divide both sides by 4 and that leaves x = 225. So the first night was 225, the second night was 250, the third night was 275, and the fourth night was 300. 225 + 250 + 275 + 300 = 1050.
I agree with Dajon as well. The equation would have to be (x)+(x)+25+(x)+50+(x)+75 which equals 1050 or on the other hand 4(x)+150=1050. Then I had subtracted 150 from 1050 and had got 900. 4(x)=900. Finally I had divided by 4 and gotten (x)=225. 225=(225+25)+(250+25)+(275+25)=1050.

So "x" stands for the amount of dragon flies eaten on the first night. The second night you would add x and 25, third night you would add x and 50. Then the fourth night you would add 75. So the equation would be 4x+150=1050. Then subtract 150 from each side and divide each side by 4, and you would get x=225.
I agree with Dajon because the equation would have to be (x)+(x)+25+(x)+50+(x)+75 which equals 1050. Then you subtracte 150 from 1050 and get 900. Finally you divide by 4 and get (x)=225. 225=(225+25)+(250+25)+(275+25)=1050.
