Question 841342
It takes 2hours and 10minutes to mow the yard. It takes 30 minutes longer to mow the front yard than the back. How long does it take to mow the front yard?
---
Time for the back:: x minutes
Time for the front: x+30 minutes
--------
Equation::
x + x+30 = 170 minutes
-----
2x = 140
x = 70 minutes (time for the back)
x+30 = 100 minutes (time for the front)
