Answer:

Explanation:

Considering the complete question attached in figure.

Consider

Hadley = x

Parker = y

Greenville = z

Distance between Greenville and Parker = yz = 29

Given that distance between Hadley and Greenville is 13 miles less than the distance between Parker and Greenville.

xz = yz -13 --- (1)

Distance between hardley and greenville = xz = ?

From (1)

xz = 29 -13

xz = 16 miles

So Alan is right that distance between Hadley and Greenville is 16 miles
