Answer:
210 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent it mathematically.
Ben drove 65 miles more than half the number of miles Steve drove, so we represent it by
B = 65 + ½S
It is also said that together, they drove 500 miles, we represent it with.
B + S = 500
Now, we solve simultaneously.
Let's eliminate the ½ in Ben's drive. So we multiply the equation by 2.
2B = 130 + S.
Rearranging, we have
S = 2B - 130.
We substitute this value of S, in the second equation. So we have.
B + (2B - 130) = 500, open the brackets
B + 2B - 130 = 500
3B - 130 = 500, collecting the like terms
3B = 500 + 130
3B = 630
B = 630/3
B = 210 miles.
Therefore, Ben drove 210 miles.

6(4.5y - 12) = 9
(4.5y - 12) = 9/6
4.5y - 12 = 1.5
4.5y = 1.5 + 12
4.5y = 13.5
y = 13.5/4.5
y = 3
