text: Let's denote the number of fish he caught on day 1 as x.  Thus, here are the totals for each day:\n\nday 1 = x\nday 2 = x+3\nday 3 = x+6\nday 4 = x+9\nday 5 = x+12\nday 6 = x+15\nday 7 = x+18\nday 8 = x+21\nday 9 = x+24\nday 10 = x+27\nday 11 = x+30\nday 12 = x+33\nday 13 = x+36\nday 14 = x+39\n\nAdding these together will get you the total fish = 385.  Solving, you get:\n\n14x + 273 = 385\n\nSolving, you get x = 8\n\nThus, these are the totals he caught each day:\n\nday 1 = 8\nday 2 = 11\nday 3 = 14\nday 4 = 17\nday 5 = 20\nday 6 = 23\nday 7 = 26\nday 8 = 29\nday 9 = 32\nday 10 = 35\nday 11 = 38\nday 12 = 41\nday 13 = 44\nday 14 = 47\n\n---------------\n\nHope this helps
