the same distance on the first, third, and fifth days: let that distance be $\"x\"$ , $\"x\"$ , $\"x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "on the second day, he drove $\"150\"$ miles more than he drove on the first day: $\"x%2B150\"$
\n" ); document.write( "the fourth day, his distance was $\"250\"$ miles less than was drives on the third day: $\"x-250\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total: $\"2500\"$ miles in five days\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2Bx%2Bx%2B%28x%2B150%29%2B%28x-250%29=2500\"$ \r
