Question

From your home, the route to the store that passes the beach is 2 miles shorter than the route to the store that passes the park. What is the length of each route?

(X+2) 4x (2x+2) x

Please also explain this. Thanks

Answer 1

Then, distance of route passes the beach = x

Let the distance of route that passes the park = x+2

So, their sum would be: x+x+2 = 2x+2

So, option C Is your answer.......

Answer 2

Answer: First and Fourth options are correct.

Explanation:

Let the route to the store that passes the beach be 'x' miles.

According to question, the route to the store that passes the beach is 2 miles shorter than the route to the store that passes the park.

So, the route to the store that passes the park be 'x+2' miles.

So, the length of each route would be

'x' and 'x+2' miles respectively.

Hence, First and Fourth options are correct.
