Mr. Miller's farm and Mr. Newton's farm together cover 525 acres. Mr. Miller's
farm is 65 acres larger than Mr. Newton's. Find the size of each farm.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr. Miller's farm is 295 acres, and Mr. Newton's farm is 230 acres.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem we can make the following equations.....

Let "N" be the area of Mr. Newton's farm and let "M" be the area of Miller's farm. Then.....

N + M = 525

N + 65 = M

Now substitute and get....

N + M = 525

N + N + 65 = 525

2N = 460

N = 230⇒

⇒N + 65 = M

230 + 65 = 295
