Meghans family is going on a road trip that is 621 miles. They plan to split the trip up equally into 3 days. April's family is also going on a road trip. They will drive 726 miles and split the trip up equally between 3 days. How many more miles per day will Aprils family drive than Meghan's

35 miles more per day than Meghan's family

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to divide the total number of miles that each family is going to drive by the 3 days that they will spend doing so. Once we do this we simply subtract the results from one another which will tell us the difference in miles per day that each family will drive.

Meghan:  621 / 3 = 207 miles per day

April:  726 / 3 = 242 miles per day

242 - 207 = 35 miles per day

Finally, we can see that April's family will drive 35 miles more per day than Meghan's family

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
