: The Iditarod sled-dog race extends for 1049 mi from Anchorage to Nome. If a musher is twice as far from Anchorage as from Nome, how many miles has the musher traveled?
I guessed it would be 1049 x 2 but that seems to simple...This question is from textbook Elementary Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Distance from Nome = x
Distance from Anchorage = 2x
x + 2x = 1049
3x = 1049
x = 1049/3
Distance from Anchorage = 2(1049/3) miles
