Question 234667
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the number of miles driven the first day.  Then *[tex \Large x + 24] must be the number of miles driven the second day.  These tow amounts add up to 842, so:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ +\ (x\ +\ 24)\ =\ 842]


Simplifying:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2x\ + 24\ =\ 842]


You can draw your own picture.
