A man ate 100 bananas in five days, each day eating 6 more than the previous day. How many bananas did he eat on the first day?

• let x be the no bananas he eats on first day
  so sequence for 5 days would be x,x+6,x+12,x+18,x+24
  now x+(x+6)+(x+12)+(x+18)+(x+24)=100
  5x+60=100
  5x=40....x=8 ans.so 8 bananas

  Let x be the banana taken at first day.Then
  x+x+6+x+12+x+18+x+24=100
  5x=60.x=12
