racheal recorded the flight of a red bird and a blue bird

The red bird flew to 2km less than four times as far as the blue bird

Distance travel by Red Bird - 2 = 4(Distance travel by Blue Bird )

Let the distance travel by blue bird is x

Then distance travel by red bird is :

Distance travel by Red Bird = 4(Distance travel by Blue Bird ) + 2

Distance travel by Red Bird = 4x + 2

The difference between their flight 298

Distance travel by Blue Bird - Distance travel by Red Bird = 298

4x + 2 - x = 298

3x + 2 = 298

3x = 298 - 2

3x = 296

x = 296/3

x = 98.66 km

Since, x express the distance travel by blue bird flight

Distance travel by Blue bird flight is 98.66 km

Distance travel y red bird flight = 4x + 2

Substitute the value of x = 98.66

Distance travel y red bird flight = 4x + 2

Distance travel y red bird flight = 4(98.66) + 2

Distance travel y red bird flight = 396.64 km

So, Red Bird flight cover the distance of 396.64 km

Answer : Red Bird flight cover the distance of 396.64 km
