Question

Zach and Ginny are building model cars. Ginny's car is 2 more than 3 times the length of Zach's car. The sum of the lengths of both cars is 30 inches. Write an equation to determine the lengths of Zach's and Ginny's cars.

3x + 2 = 30
x + 2 + 3x = 30
2x + 3 = 30
x + 2x + 3 = 30

Answer 1

3x+=30
3x=30+2
3x=32
3/3x=32
X=32/3
X=1.6666....

Answer 2

I think its 3x+2=30 since it says 3 times so multiply the x and 2 more so adding
