Consider a scenario where two friends, Alex and Jamie, are planning a road trip. They want to determine how far each will travel.
Let $$x$$ represent the distance (in miles) Alex will drive, and let $$y$$ represent the distance (in miles) Jamie will drive.
They have established the following equations based on their travel plans:
Equation 1: $$x + y = 300$$
Equation 2: $$3x - 2y = 100$$
What is the value of $$x$$?
