Question

A girl scout troop sold cookies. If the girls sold 5 more boxes the second week than they did the first, and if they doubled 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?

Answer 1

first week will be represented with an x.
431=(x)+(x+5)+(2(x+5))
where x is the first week. X+5 because there is 5 more cookies the second week. And the third week you double the value of the second week (which is x+5). Can you figure it out now?

Answer 2

r u set?

Answer 3
