Question

Carson and his family drove to Disneyland. They started driving on Thursday and then stopped for the night. On Friday, they drove twice as many miles as they had on Thursday. On Saturday, they drive fifty more miles than they had on Friday. If Carson and his family live 650 miles from Disneyland, how many miles did Carson’s family drive each day?

Answer 1

The answer is 13 650 divided by 50

Answer 2

x = 120

Explanation:

the equation is m + 2m + (2m + 50) = 650

so you just add all of the variables together and you get

5m + 50 = 650

then 5m = 650 - 50 = 5m = 600

then to 600/5 = 120

so x = 120
