Answer:
[tex]x+(3x+2)=30[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the length of Zach's car
y ----> the length of Ginny's car
we know that
The sum of the lengths of both cars is 30 inches
so
[tex]x+y=30[/tex] ----> equation A
Ginny's car is 2 more than 3 times the length of Zach's car
so
[tex]y=3x+2[/tex] ----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
[tex]x+(3x+2)=30[/tex]
