they both traveled was 76 miles. How far did each person drive?

What is Sue mile?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Bob drove 59miles

Sue drove 17 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Sue drove x miles

so, Bob miles 2x+25miles

The total distance  was 76 miles.

So, x+2x+25=76

3x=76-25=51

x=51/3=17 miles(Sue drove)

2x+25=2×17+25=59 miles (Bob drove)
