You can put this solution on YOUR website! If Dave drove one-third of the distance of his trip on the first day, and 60 miles on the second day, he figured out that he still had 1/2 of the trip to drive. What was the total length, in miles, of his trip?
:
Let t = the length of the trip
:
t = t + 60 + t
multiply by 6
6t = 2t + 6(60) + 3t
6t - 5t = 360
t = 360 mi
