Ok, great to have you! I will finally answer your question. This seems to be a system of equations. I solve most of mine on Desmos. Let us write two equations to model this: [tex]3x+2y=144[/tex] [tex]2x+5y =217[/tex] We get the graph. Note the intersection at (26,33). That means that route X is 26 miles long,and route Y is 33 miles long!. Hope this helps.
