1on a trip to griffith observatory, dave rode his bicycle six more than twice as many miles in the afternoon as in the morning. if the entire trip was 57 miles long, then how far did he ride in the morning and in the afternoon?

the answer is he rode 17 miles in the morning and 40 miles in the afternoon

Step-by-step explanation:

so in the afternoon, it says that 6 more than twice as many miles in the afternoon as in the morning. this means that if the morning is x then in the afternoon it will be 2x+6 but it says altogether it is 57 miles so the you have to add x too.

so the equation is 2x+6+x=57

then this should be easy to solve.

2x+6+x=57

3x+6=57

3x=51

x=17

so if the morning is 17 miles then the afternoon will be:

2(17)+6

this equals to 40.

I hope that this is helpful!
