To solve this problem, you can create a system of equations and solve for each hiker's distance walked.
Hiker 1 distance walked: x
Hiker 2 distance walked: y
Their combined distance walked is 53 miles, thus -
x + y = 53
The difference between miles walked is 25, thus -
x - 25 = y
Let's solve using substitution. To do that, substitute x - 23 into x + y = 53 for y.
x + y = 53
x + (x - 25) = 53
x + x - 25 = 53
2x - 25 = 53
2x = 78
x = 39
To find y, substitute 39 for x into either of the equations.
x + y = 53
39 + y = 53
y = 14
Finally, check all work.
x + y = 53
39 + 14 = 53
53 = 53
x - 25 = y
39 - 25 = 14
14 = 14
Answer:
One hiker walked 39 miles and the other hiker walked 14 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1/3 probability
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that you flip heads is 1/2, one heads out of two possible (heads and tails).
The probability that you draw a purple marble is 2/3, two purples and three total (2 p +1 w).
To find the probability of both happening, multiply the probabilities together:
(1/2) * (2/3) = (2/6) = (1/3)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2y - x - y - 5x
x - x + 2y - y - 5x
0 + y - 5x
- ( 5x - y ) or y - 5x or y = 5x
