Question 368878: Solve. Please show all of your work.
You are traveling to your mother’s house that is 234 miles away. If you are currently twice as far from your home as you are from your mother’s house, how far have you traveled? Round your answer to the nearest tenth mile

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Let distance from mother house =x
then, distance traveled by me (i.e distance from my home)= 2x

sum of x and 2x is 234 miles
so, 3x= 234
=> x = 234/3= 78

distance traveled by me = 2* 78 = 156 miles
