Buried Treasure. Ahmed has half of a treasure map, which indicates that the treasure is buried in the desert 2x + 6 paces from Castle Rock. Vanessa has the other half of the map. Her half indicates that to find the treasure, one must get to Castle Rock, walk x paces to the north, and then walk 2x + 4 paces to the east. If they share thier information, then they can find x and save a lot of digging. What is x?

  1. This is the Pythagorean 5,12,13 triplet, so the answer is x = 10.

    The treasure is 26 paces from Castle Rock.
