To go to the beach, adiyah drives 4 times as many miles as jacob. adiyah drives 20 miles. how many miles does jacob drive? write an equation and a comparison sentence to solve

80 miles bec 20 times 4 equals 80 but then all you have to do is transfer tt into a comparison.

Hello There!

A = 4x
J = x
Adiyah drives 4 times the amount of miles that Jacob does.
20/4 = 5

Jacob drives 5 miles.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

So the first thing we do is to multiply the top equation by 3. the reason i want to do this is i notice there will be a 6y on both equations and can possibly add/subtract them. so we get 6y = -3x + 27. adding that and the second equation we get 6x = 27-15 which is 12. divide by 6 and we get 2. ∴ x = 2. substituting 2 into the first equation we get 2y = -2 + 9 which is 7. divide by 2 and we get 7/2. ∴ y = 7/2, x = 2.
