If Gary drove x miles, then
x + 5x = 624
now finish it off
x + 5x = 624
now finish it off
idk 🤔😟
6x = 624
x = 104
104 * 5 = 520
Let's assume the number of miles Gary drives is x.
According to the problem, Raj drives 5 times farther than Gary, so Raj drives 5x miles.
Together, they drive 624 miles, so we can add their distances:
x + 5x = 624
Combining like terms:
6x = 624
To find the value of x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6:
x = 624 / 6
x = 104
Now we know that Gary drives 104 miles. To find out how many miles Raj drives, we can substitute this value back into the equation for Raj's distance:
Raj's distance = 5x = 5 * 104 = 520
Therefore, Raj drives 520 miles.
