Question

On the two days before a swim meet, Jesse swam a total of 2,050 meters. The second day, she swam 250 meters more than on the first day. How many meters did she swim each day?

Answer 1

Day 1 = d 

Day 2 = d + 250 

Total = 2,050 meters 


d + d + 250 = 2, 050 
2d + 250 = 2, 050 
2d = 1800 
d = 900 

Day 1 = 900 meters 

Day 2 = 1,150 meters
