A lumberman stacks planks of wood, starting with 30 planks in a row. Each row he stacks has one less plank than the row below it. The last row he stacks has 15 planks. How many rows of planks has he stacked?

OpenStudy (mkapad01):

I would start with an equation and plug in 15

OpenStudy (mkapad01):

30-1(n-1)=15

OpenStudy (mkapad01):

solve for this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=12 c=16 d=18 answer choices

OpenStudy (mkapad01):

16

OpenStudy (mkapad01):

subtract 30 to the other side which than is -15, divide -1 and lastly add 1
