Maria and Buzz both walk from their houses to the bus stop every morning. Maria walks 2.4 kilometers further, and together they walk 5.1 kilometers.

If Buzz walks a distance of m kilometers find the value of m.

Answer 1

m = 1.35

Explanation:

Buzz = m

Maria = m + 2.4

Together = 5.1

Equation:

m + m + 2.4 = 5.1

2m + 2.4 = 5.1

2m = 2.7

m = 1.35

So now:

Buzz = 1.35

Maria = 1.35 + 2.4 = 3.75

1.35 + 3.75 = 5.1

This solution is correct.

Hope this helps!
