The main span of a suspension bridge is the roadway between the bridge's towers. The main span of the Walt Whitman Bridge in Philadelphia is 2000 feet long. This is 600 feet longer than two-fifths of the length of the main span of the George Washington Bridge in New York City. Write and solve an equation to find the length of the George Washington Bridge.

My answer is
2000=600+2/5x
I am not sure if my equation is correct to solve it.

Your Eq is correct.

Length = X Ft.

(2/5)x + 600 = 2000.
Multiply both sides by 5/2:
x + 1500 = 5000
X = 3500 Ft.
NOOOOOOOO
THAT IS WRONG
