During a trip, Amy had to take two different trains. Her first train traveled for 3 hours, and the second
train traveled for 4 hours. Combined, the trains traveled 625 miles.
If the equation 3m + 4n = 625 represents this situation, which statements are true regarding this
equation?
Select two that apply.
The variable m in the equation represents the speed of the first train.
The variable m in the equation represents the speed of the second train.
The variable n in the equation represents the speed of the second train.
The variable n in the equation represents the speed of the first train.
The variable m in the equation represents the number of hours Amy traveled on the
first train.
The variable n in the equation represents the number of hours Amy traveled on the
second train.

Answer:

Let's solve for m.

3m + 4n = 625

Step 1: Add -4n to both sides.

3m + 4n + −4n = 625 + −4n

3m = −4n + 625

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3m/3 = 4n + 625/3

m = -4/3 n + 625/3

C) The variable m in the equation represents the number of hours Amy traveled on the

first train.

D) The variable n in the equation represents the number of hours Amy traveled on the

second train.
