    Equation;

    584=H+2B

    Rory and her cousin traveled 146 miles each

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total distance to be covered can be expressed as;

    T=H+2B

    where;

    T=total distance to be covered

    H=distance covered on the first day

    B=distance covered by either Rory or her cousin on the second day

    In our case;

    T=584 miles

    H=584/2=292 miles

    B=b

    replacing;

    584=292+2*b

    2 b=584-292

    b=292/2=146 miles

    Rory and her cousin traveled 146 miles each
