Question 71220
The distance by car was 125 Kilometers less than the distance by plane.  The total distance was 500 kilometers less than three times the distance traveled by car,  find the distance flown in the airplane.
-----------
Let the plane distance be "x" miles.
Then the car distance is "x-125".
EQUATION:
x+ x-125 = 500
2x = 625
x = 312.5  miles (plane distance)
