Last month Maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. Let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. If she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times Maria hiked each trail?

The connection is 5x+10y=90 If she climbed the 5-mile trail x times, she would have strolled 5x miles altogether.
Since we know the aggregate of her strolling was 90 miles, we can compose the above condition, connecting together the data.
Without extra data about x and y we can't go to a clear articulation about the estimations of x and y.
