    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
