A bus travels two different routes: the Green Route and the Blue Route. The routes are different lengths.
• On Monday the bus traveled the Green Route 6 times and the Blue Route 5 times,
traveling a total of 52 miles.
• On Tuesday the bus traveled the Green Route 12 times and the Blue Route 13 times,
traveling a total of 119 miles.
What is the length of the Green Route in miles?

The length of the Green Route in miles is 4.5 miles.

Formulate an equation for Monday and Tuesday

Monday

6x + 5y= 52Equation 1

Tuesday

12x + 13y = 119Equation 2

Multiply the equation  

12x + 10y= 104

-3y=-15

Divide both side by 3y

y=15/3

y=5

Plug in 5 into equation 2

12x + 13 (5) = 119

12x+65=119

12x=119-65

12x= 54

Divide both side by 12x

x=54/12

x= 4.5 miles

Inconclusion the length of the Green Route in miles is 4.5 miles.

Set up a system of equations and say green route is x and blue route is y

This will give you

Monday 6x + 5y= 52

Tuesday 12x + 13y = 119

Solve by multiplying the top equation by two to get

12x + 10y= 104

Since you have 12x in both equations, these cancel out when you subtract the bottom from the top. This leaves you with

-3y=-15

Y=5

The blue route is 5 miles, but they want to know the green route. Fill in the y value in either one of your equations. Let’s use the one from Tuesday

12x + 13 (5) = 119

12x= 54

X= 4.5

This means that the answer is 4.5 miles
