A recovering heart attack patient is told to get on a regular walking program. The patient is told to walk a distance of 5 km the first week, 8 km the second week, 11 km the third week, and so on for a period of 10 weeks. At that point, the patient is to maintain the distance walked during the 10th week.
To Find- How far will the patient walk during the 10th week?
As from the given question, it is clear that the patient is walking 3 km in each upcoming weeks
So, For the first week⇒ 5 km
Second week ⇒5 km + 3 km = 8 km
Third week ⇒ 8 km + 3 km11 km
Fourth week ⇒ 11 km + 3 km14 km
Fifth week ⇒ 14 km + 3 km17 km
Sixth week ⇒ 17 km + 3 km 20 km
Seventh week ⇒ 20 km + 3 km 23 km
Eight week ⇒ 23 km + 3 km 26 km
Ninth week ⇒ 26 km + 3 km 29 km
