miles per month does Olivia skate?




A.32 miles
B.64 miles
C.48 miles
D.24 miles


Sagot :

Answer:

B.64 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Oliver's be x

Let Stephanie's be y

[tex]x = 2y - - - (a) \\ x + y = 96 - - - (b)[/tex]

substitute for x in (b):

[tex]2y + y = 96 \\ 3y = 96 \\ y = 32[/tex]

find x in (a):

[tex]x = (2 \times 32) \\ x = 64[/tex]

The correct answer is A, 96 divided by 3 is 32 that’s 1/3 of the miles therefore making it so to finish it you need to double the miles.
