You just write down what they tell you as equations and end up with two linear equations with two unknowns &#8211; so it is fairly straightforward to solve . I do like the way they present the information here as it acts as a good example problem for introducing the idea of graphing or drawing a problem in order help set up equations to solve it.<\/p>\n<p>It would still be a fairly simple problem to solve, but making the problem 3 equations in two unknowns, and using the extra information to nail one of several solutions might make it more fun. So one like this should go in the book.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_647\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-647\" style=\"width: 612px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/h2sbt_up_and_down.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-647  \" title=\"h2sbt_up_and_down\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/h2sbt_up_and_down.jpg\" alt=\"Good example on graphical representations to solve a problem\" width=\"612\" height=\"686\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-647\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Good example on graphically representing a story problem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is another one from hard to solve brain teasers.
