Question

a website received 9,347 visits during the first month of its launch the third month witnessed three times the number of visits then the second month if the website received 13,455 visits over the three month period how many visits did it witness during the second month

Answer 1

Let x = the number of visits in the second month. We want to find the value of x. In the third month, the website got three times the number it received in the second month, so it got 3x visits. The first month got 9347 visits and the total for the three months is 13,455. So

9347 + x + 3x = 13,455

Solve for x.
