Question 100197
On the two days before a swim meet, jesse swan a total of 2050 meters. The second day she swam 250 meeters more than the first day. How many meters did she swim on each day?
----------------
1st day she swam "x" miles
2nd day she sham "x+250" miles
EQUATION:
x + x+250 = 2050
2x = 1800
x = 900 (distance she swam on the 1st day)
x+250 = 1150 ( distance she swam on the 2nd day)
================
