Helen gathered 37 mushrooms in three hours. How many mushrooms did she gather every hour, if she gathered 7 more mushrooms in the second hour than in the first hour, and 6 more in the third hour than in the first hour?

Helen gathered
mushrooms in the first hour,
mushrooms in the second hour and
mushrooms in the third hour.

On the first hour she gathered 8 mushroons, on the second 15 mushroons and on the third she gathered 14 mushroons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Helen gathred a total of 37 mushroons in three hours. On the first hour she gathered "x" mushroons, on the second hour she gathered "x + 7" mushroons and on the third hour she gathered "x + 6". Therefore the sum of mushrrons she gathered on each hour should be equal to the total she gathered as shown below:

37 = x + (x+ 7) + (x + 6)

37 = 3*x + 13

3*x + 13 = 37

3*x = 37 - 13

3*x = 24

x = 24 / 3

x = 8

On the first hour she gathered 8 mushroons, on the second 15 mushroons and on the third she gathered 14 mushroons.

answer: yes, he is correct

step-by-step explanation: 10x-1=59

                                              1-1=0     59+1=60

60/10=x=6
