Question

Jessica lives in a city and Anastasia lives in another city. Their houses are 68 miles apart and equidistant from a restaurant they are meeting at for lunch. The restaurant is (15x + 4) from Jessica's house and (10x + 4) from Anastasia's house. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Distance of restaurants from both houses are same

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 15x+4=10x+4$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 15x-10x=4-4$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 5x=0$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=0$
