Discovered 2830

A walker who had covered 2/3 of the planned hiking route discovered that he had lost his map. He came back for her. After overcoming 1/4 of the route he had already traveled, he found the map. He then continued in his original direction. When he had walked 7 km, he was at the finish line. How many kilometers was the original route?

Correct answer:

x =  14 km

Step-by-step explanation:


2/3x-(2/3x)/4+7=x

2/3·x-(2/3·x)/4+7=x

6x = 84


x = 84/6 = 14

x = 14
