Each truck in the line weigh two tons more than the truck before it. the trucks weigh a total of 32 tons. how many pounds does a truck weigh

If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x

then x+2tons

then x+4tons

then x+6tons = 32tons

so 4x+12=32

-12 - 12

/4 / 4

x=5

so plug it back in

truck 1 = 5tons or 10,000lbs

truck 2 = 7tons or 14,000lbs

truck 3 = 9tons or 18,000lbs

truck 4 = 11tons or 22,000lbs
