Question

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 1328 kilometers, riding on the train 254 more kilometers than on the bus. let x = kilometers traveled by bus let x = Kilometers traveled by train How many kilometers did they travel by train?

Answer 1

800 Kilometers

Explanation:

x+y=1450

y=x+150

x+y=1450

+

(-x+y) = 150

=

0+2y=1600

y=800

Answer 2

Let x = Kms by bus

then x + (x + 254) = 1582
2x = 1328

x = 664 by bus
918 by train
