quietus · Answer

(275 / 2) + 27.5 = kilometers travelled by bike.
(275 / 2) - 27.5 = kilometers travelled by bus.

so what do you mean by this

quietus · Answer

165km by bike, 110 km by bus.

anonymous · Answer

Substitute or X and solve for "Y":
 Y+55 + Y = 275
 2Y = 220
 Y = 110 km (distance traveled by Bus)
 -------
 Solve for "X":
 X = Y + 55
 X = 110+55 = 165 km (distance traveled by Bike)
