a man on a long trip drove one fourth of the distance on a first day, 575 miles on the second day and 125 more than the first day on the third day.
\n" ); document.write( " How long was the trip?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let d = the distance of the trip
\n" ); document.write( "d = \"1%2F4\"d + 575 + (\"1%2F4\"d + 125)
\n" ); document.write( "multiply equation by 4
\n" ); document.write( "4d = d + 4(575) + d + 4(125)
\n" ); document.write( "4d = 2d + 2300 + 500
\n" ); document.write( "4d - 2d = 2800
\n" ); document.write( "2d = 2800
\n" ); document.write( "d = 2800/2
\n" ); document.write( "d = 1400 mi
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F4\"(1400) + 575 + (\"1%2F4\"(1400) + 125)
\n" ); document.write( "350 + 575 + 350 + 125 = 1400
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
