Last month Maria hiked a total of 90 miles on two trails: a 5-mile mountain trail and a 10-mile canal trail. Let x represent the
number of times Maria hiked the mountain trail, and let y represent the number of times Maria hiked the canal trail. Which equation can be used to find the number of times Maria hiked each trail?
5y+2x=10y=−25x+2246810−2−4−6−8−10246810−2−4−6−8−10Let's solve for x.5y+2x=10Step 1: Add -5y to both sides.2x+5y+−5y=10+−5y2x=−5y+10Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.2x2=−5y+102x=−52y+5Answer:x=−52y+5
