Given that:

12 minutes for the first week that is

6 minutes additional per day

Q. How many weeks will it be before you are up to jogging 60

minutes per day?

SOLUTION:

Let x = be the number of weeks

We can use the formula 

[ Run time = 12 + (x - 1) *6 ]

60 = 12 + (x-1) * 6

60 - 12 = (x-1) * 6            (Transpose 12 to the other side)

48 = (x-1) * 6                   (divide both sides by 6)

48 (x − 1) ∗6
  =    (divide both sides by 6)
6 6

8 = x - 1                           (Transposition)

8 +1 = x

9=x
