Yes!
we can set up the equation 3x+40+4x+5=395 and solve to get
7x+45=395
7x=350 so x=50
When we plug it in to check, we get
3(50)+40+4(50)+5=395
so the answer must be correct!
Tallahassee was established as the capitol of Florida because it was between Pensacola and St. Augustine. The distance from Pensacola to Tallahassee can be represented as (3x + 40) miles. The distance from Tallahassee to St. Augustine can be represented as (4x + 5) miles. The distance from Pensacola to St. Augustine is 395 miles. Is Tallahassee the midpoint of Pensacola and St. Augustine?

distancePensacolatoAugustine=distPT + distanceTA
395=3x+40 + 4x+5
solve for x. I get about 50. Then, see if the distance from Pensacola to Tallassee (3x_+40) is half of 395
