Sam and Bryan meet at the gym. Sam travels 6 miles farther to the gym than Bryan. Three times the distance Bryan travels is 12
miles. If x represents the distance traveled by Bryan to the gym, which statements are true when determining the distance traveled by
each?

Answer:

x+6=y and 3x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance traveled by Bryan and let y be the distance traveled by Sam then the first equation would be:

x+6=y (x plus 6 is equal to y, Bryan's distance plus 6 is equal to Sam's distance) and the second one is:

3x=12 (3 times x is 12, 3 times the distance travelled by Bryan is 12)

So our statements/equations are:

x+6=y and

3x=12 (we dont write this as x=4 as it asks us to give the statements we got from the information given, we only start simplifying once it tells us to solve)
