Answer:

Equation;

584=H+2B

Rory and her cousin traveled 146 miles each

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance to be covered can be expressed as;

T=H+2B

where;

T=total distance to be covered

H=distance covered on the first day

B=distance covered by either Rory or her cousin on the second day

In our case;

T=584 miles

H=584/2=292 miles

B=b

replacing;

584=292+2×b

2 b=584-292

b=292/2=146 miles

Rory and her cousin traveled 146 miles each
