Question

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?

Answer 1

For the number of times, Maria hiked the 5-mile mountain the equation can be used as follows x+2x=90.

Thus solving the equation, the answer would be got. Similarly for finding out the number of 10 miles canal trials the equation can be y/2+y=90.

Thus solving the equation, the answer would be got.
