Carl spent $140 in six days. He spent $20 on the first day. He spent the same amount of money during the next five days. 4a. Write an equation that can be solved to find the amount of money, m, that he spent each day during the last five days. (DO NOT PUT SPACE IN YOUR ANSWER.) 100 POINTS

20 + 5m = 140

$24 on each day of the last five days

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount to spend in 6 days = $140

He spent:

First day = $20

Balance = Total amount to spend - Amount spent on first day

= $140 - $20

= $120

He spent the same amount of money during the next five days.

Amount spent each day in the last 5 days = Balance / 5 days

= 120 / 5

= 24

Amount spent each day in the last 5 days = $24

The equation is

20 + 5m = 140

Where,

m = amount spent in the last five days

20 + 5m = 140

5m = 140 - 20

5m = 120

m = 120 / 5

m = $24

i only know the sequence of arithmetic it adds the first is 5+4 then it goes up as it adds to then it is 9+5 then 14+6 then to 20+7 and so on. 5,9,14,20,27,35.
