The problem states that the total distance was 1356 miles -- so we assume that was the round trip mileage.
x + x + 284 = 1356
2x = 1072
x = 536
The marsh family took a vacation that covered a total distance of 1356 miles. The return trip was 284 miles shorter than the first part of the trip. How long was the return trip?
My answer is
1356-284= 1072

Thanks
You're welcome.
X+X-284 = 1356
2x-284+284(cancel out). 1356-284
2x÷2(cancel out) 1640÷2 = 820
Check
820+820-284 = 1356
2x-284+284(cancel out). 1356-284
2x÷2(cancel out) 1640÷2 = 820
Check
820+820-284 = 1356
Total distance= 1356
