Question

a golfer hit two shots for a total of 375 yards . her first shot was 240 yards. how far was her second shot. let s = length of her second shot.

Answer 1

240+s+375
subtract 240 from both sides
s=135
135 yards

Answer 2

375 - 240 = 135
375 is our total yards, 240 is the yards she hit on the first try. 135 is your answer.
