The distance will traveled was

Question

the distance will traveled was equal to three times the distance shane traveled less 4 miles . If will traveled 71 miles how many miles did Shane travel?

Answer 1

W = Distance traveled by Will

S =Distance traveled by Shane

 

W = 3S - 4

 

Given again W = 71

 

Then 73 = 3S - 4

 

or 3S =71+4  =75

 

or S = 75/3=25 miles
