n a city, the distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station. The distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles. How far apart are the police station and the fire station?

Respuesta :

x = distance library and police
y = distance police and fire

x = 2y - 3
x = 5

5 = 2y - 3
5 + 3 = 2y
8 = 2y
8/2 = y
4 = y <=== police station and fire stationĀ are 4 miles apart
