Let the Length of River D be : P

Given : River C is 100 Miles Longer than River D

⇒ Length of River C = P + 100

Given : The Sum of Both Rivers is 5570 Miles

⇒ P + (P + 100) = 5570

⇒ 2P + 100 = 5570

⇒ 2P = 5570 - 100

⇒ 2P = 5470

⇒ P = 2735

⇒ Length of River D is : 2735 Miles

⇒ Length of River C is : (P + 100) = (2735 + 100) = 2835 Miles
