Answer:

423

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by setting up a formula.

x = the shorter piece

total = 1313

longer piece = (x*2) + 44

x + (x*2) + 44 = 1313

Simplify

3x + 44 = 1313

Now we must solve for x.

Whatever you do on the left side of the equal sign must also be done on the right.

The goal is to get x by itself on the left side.

Do the easiest thing first, which is usually addition or subtraction. In this case, subtract 44 from both sides.

3x + 44 - 44 = 1313 - 44

3x = 1269

Now the only way to cancel out the 3 on the left is to divide by 3. Since 3/3 =1. Remember this must be done on both sides to keep things equal.

3x/3 = 1269/3

x=423

The End

a tourist drove his car for the total of 17.5 hours while on a 3-day vacation on the first day he drove 4.5 hours in the second
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

1.75 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time for day 1 : 4.5 hrs

Time for day 2: (4.5 ×2.5)

Time for day 3: let it be denoted by a variable ,say T.

Total Time= 17.5

(Time for day 1 ) + (Time for day 2) +(Time for day 3) =17.5

4.5 + (4.5×2.5) + T = 17.5

4.5+11.25+T =17.5

15.75+T=17.5

T=17.5-15.75

T= 1.75
