ali and jake went on a cross country trip they took a train part of the way and took a bus the rest of the way they traveled a total of 1450 riding on the train 150 more kilometers than on the bus let x=kilometers traveled by bus let y = kilometers traveled by train question how many kilometers did they travel by train?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:=800 kmStep-by-step explanation:Let the distance traveled by train be y and by bus be x.Bus -xTrain -yy=x+150 (since they traveled by train for a distance of 150 km more than by bus.)The sum of the two is equal to 1450x+y=1450y=x+150These two form simultaneous equations.y+x=1450..............iy-x=150.................iiAdding ii to i gives:2y=1600Divide both sides by twoy=800Distance traveled by train =y=800 km
