Question

The difference between Hadley and Greenville is 13 miles less than the distance between Parker and Greenville. Write two equations that compare the distance between Hadley and Greenville. Tell what your variable represents

Answer 1

s = k- 13 or s + k = 13

s: distance between Hadley and Greenville

k: distance between Parker and Greenville

Explanation:

Let us assume the distance between Parker and Greenville = k miles

Also, assume that the distance between Hadley and Greenville = s miles

Now as given:

The difference between Hadley and Greenville is 13 miles less than the distance between Parker and Greenville.

⇒ The difference between Hadley and Greenville

= the distance between Parker and Greenville. - 13

or, s = k- 13 is the NEEDED equation.

or, s + k = 13
