Explanation:

x = miles ridden on Thursday

y = miles ridden on Friday

x + y = 249

y = x + 35

we can use the identity of the second equation in the first equation and solve :

x + (x + 35) = 249

2x + 35 = 249

2x = 214

x = 107 miles

y = x + 35 = 107 + 35 = 142 miles

on Thursday she rode 107 miles.

on Friday 142 miles.
