Question ⤵️

The average distance that Ben and Tina drove was 153 km. If Ben drove 24 km more than Tina, what was the distance that Tina drove ?

AnSwEr ⤵️

$= > x + (x + 24) = 153 \\ = > 2x + 24 = 153 \\ = > 2x = 153 - 24 \\ = > 2x = 129 \\ = > x = \frac{129}{2} \\ = > 64.5km$

Tina - 64.5 km

Ben - 88.5 km

Answer 2

Given:-

• The average distance that Ben and Tina drove was 153 km.
• Ben drove 24 km more than Tina.

⠀

To find:-

• Distance that Tina drove.

⠀

Solution:-

According to the question

→ x + (x + 24) = 153

→ 2x + 24 = 153

→ 2x = 153 - 24

→ 2x = 129

→ x = 129/2

→ x = 64.5 km

⠀

Hence,

• Tina drove = 64.5 km
• Ben drove = 88.5 km
