Question

hike 2100 miles fm springer mt georgia to mt. katadin 50 yr later at age 79 became the oldest person to hike the entire trail he was 3 times as far frm northern end of the trail as fm the southern. at the point how far was he fm each end of the trail? help please.....

Answer 1

We are dividing the trail into two parts, x and y, one is the distance to the southern end and the other is the distance to the northern end:

x + y = 2100

And

x = 3y

Is that enough for you to solve this?
