You can put this solution on YOUR website! Three friends drove west into Illinois. Kyle drove half as far as jamaal. Conner drove 4 times as far as Kyle. Altogether they drove 357 miles. How far did each drive?
------
Assume Jamaal drove "2x" miles
Then Connor drove "8x" miles
And Kyle drove "x" miles
-------------------------------
Equation:
x + 2x 8x = 357
x = 32.45 (Kyle"s distance)
2x = 64.9 (Jamaaal's distance)
8x = 259.64 miles (Connor's distance)
