Algebra.Com's Answer #287066 by robertb(5830) You can put this solution on YOUR website! k = j/2, \n" ); document.write( "c = 4k, \n" ); document.write( "k + c + j = 476.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From the 1st equation, j = 2k. Substituting this and the 2nd equation into the 3rd equation, we get k + 4k + 2k = 476. \n" ); document.write( "==> 7k = 476, or k = 68 miles driven by kyle, \n" ); document.write( "j = 2*68 = 136 miles driven by jamaal, and \n" ); document.write( "c = 4*68 = 272 miles driven by connor. \n" ); document.write( " |
