Complete question − How many kilometres did they travel by bus and by bicycle.

Answer:George and carmen traveled by bus in 135km and by bikein 215km

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Miles traveled = 350 miles

Let Number of kilometres they traveled with bus = x

and Let Number of kilometres they traveled with bike = x + 80

so that the total distance traveled with bus and bike be expressed as

x + x + 80 = 350 miles

2x + 80 = 350 miles

2x = 350 − 80

2x =270

x=135

George and Carmen traveled by bus in 135km

and by bicycle=x + 80 = 135 km + 80 =215km
