Preeta’s book has 300 pages. Each day she reads 10 more pages than the day before. She finishes her book in 6 days. How many pages does she read?

Step-by-step explanation:

1. if the number of pages in the 1st day is 'x', then the 2d day - 'x+10', the 3d day - 'x+20', the 4th day - 'x+30', the 5th day - 'x+40' and the last day - 'x+50' pages;

2. if the sum of all the pages is 300, then it is possible to make up the equation:

x+x+10+x+20+x+30+x+40+x+50=300;

3. x=25, it means:

1st day - 25;

2d day - 35;

3d day - 45;

4th day - 55;

5th day - 65;

6th day - 75 pages.
