Question

Over two days bradley drove 781 miles to attend a wedding. He drove 167 more miles the second day than the first day.How far did he drive each day?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x be the distance Bradley drove on the first day. Then the distance he drove on the second day is x + 167.

The total distance driven over the two days is 781 miles, so we can write the equation:

x + (x + 167) = 781

Simplifying and solving for x, we get:

2x + 167 = 781

2x = 614

x = 307

Therefore, Bradley drove 307 miles on the first day and 307 + 167 = 474 miles on the second day.
