On Tuesday, a taxi driver drove 4 times the distance she drove on Monday. Om Wednesday, she drove 20 miles more than on Monday. She drove 350 miles on the three days altogether. How many miles did she drive on Monday?

they must have had the homework at 4 pm zipps

you aint been on it all night have ya.... thats 6 hours

only kidding

lacroupade · 30-04-2009, 23:15

it goes

x + 4x + x +20 = 350 where x = Mondays mileage

that simplifies to 6x + 20 = 350

then 6x = 350-20

then 6x = 330

then x = 330/6 = 55 miles

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

god, skule eh?!
