Interesting question!
Turn both sentences to equations:

a is the first number, and b is the second number.
A system of equations! A graphing calculator will do the work:
(See picture)
The y in the picture is a, and the x in the picture is b.
So the solution is a=17 and b=5
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:

So 1 mile= 5280 feet. So first take 5280 divided by 4 (because we have a quarter mile) = 1320.
Then do 5280 x 3 (because we have three miles)= 15840 feet
then take 1320 + 15840= 17160 feet
The trail is 17,160 feet long
