x = miles for Orb
2x = miles for Zeno
x+2x=3x = miles for Yuko
3*2x=6x = miles for Sam
add them all up and the total is 888
solve for x
Zemo, Orb, Yuko, and Sam are friends who live on neighboring space stations of the planet Krayon. They commute to school every day by space shuttle. Orb's space station is one half as far from Krayon as Zemo's space station. Yuko travels as far as the total distance traveled by Zemo and Orb. Sam travels 3 times the distance that Zemo travels. How many space miles does Orb travel to school if the friends together travel 888 space miles? (Hint: write an algebraic equation)
