Question

The main span of a suspension bridge is the roadway between the bridge's tower. The main span of the Walt White man Bridge in Philadelphia is 2000 feet long. This Is 600 Feet Longer Than Two-fifths of the length of the main span of the George Washington bridge in New York city. Write and solve an equation to find the length if the George Washington bridg.

Answer 1

I predict that my answer is 2000=600+2/5x
Your Eq is correct.

Length = X Ft.

(2/5)x + 600 = 2000.
Multiply both sides by 5/2:
x + 1500 = 5000
X = 3500 Ft.
