Danny drove for a total of 370 miles over the course of 3 days, but on the third day he drove 5 more miles than he did on the first and second day. How many miles did danny drive each day?
Answer provided by our tutors
In order to solve this problem, we must assume that Danny drove the same amount (x) on day 1 and 2. We will let 'y' stand for the amount driven on day 3. We can write:
2x+y=370
y=x+5
Using Algebrator to solve for 'x' and 'y', we get:
x=121.67miles (Day 1 and day 2)
y=126.67miles (day 3)
