You can put this solution on YOUR website! lets call the distance heckle drove 500-x and the amount jeckle drove x.
:
so if you take the amount driven by heckle and subtract out jeckles miles it will equal 80 since he drove 80 more miles
:
so (500-x)-x=80
:
500-2x=80
:
-2x=-420
: miles driven by Jeckle
: miles driven by Heckle
