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.

Your equation is correct!

Let's break it down step-by-step:

1. Let's assume the length of the main span of the George Washington Bridge is "x" feet.
2. According to the problem, the main span of the Walt Whitman Bridge is 600 feet longer than two-fifths of the length of the main span of the George Washington Bridge.
3. The length of the Walt Whitman Bridge can be represented as (2/5)x + 600.
4. The problem states that the length of the main span of the Walt Whitman Bridge is 2000 feet.
5. Putting these pieces together, we can write the equation: (2/5)x + 600 = 2000.

Now, let's solve the equation:

1. First, isolate the term with "x": (2/5)x = 2000 - 600.
2. Simplify the right side: (2/5)x = 1400.
3. To get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by 5: 5 * (2/5)x = 5 * 1400.
4. Simplify: 2x = 7000.
5. Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x: x = 3500.

Therefore, the length of the main span of the George Washington Bridge is 3500 feet.

Your equation is correct! Let's go through the steps to solve it.

First, let's assign a variable to represent the length of the main span of the George Washington Bridge. Let's use "x".

According to the problem, the main span of the Walt Whitman Bridge is 600 feet longer than two-fifths of the length of the main span of the George Washington Bridge. We can express this as:

2000 = 600 + (2/5)x

Now we can solve for x.

To isolate "x," we need to get rid of the constant term (600) on the right side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 600 from both sides:

2000 - 600 = (2/5)x

Simplifying the left side, we have:

1400 = (2/5)x

To solve for x, we need to get rid of the coefficient (2/5) in front of it. We can do this by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of (2/5), which is 5/2:

1400 * (5/2) = (2/5)x * (5/2)

Simplifying this equation gives us:

3500 = x

Therefore, the length of the main span of the George Washington Bridge is 3500 feet.

NOOOOOOOO

THAT IS WRONG
