Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Miles per week Charles rode his bike = 19
Miles every Monday Charles bikes = 2.2
Miles every Tuesday Charles bikes = ?
Miles every Wednesday Charles bikes = 3.8
Miles every Thursday Charles bikes = ?
Miles every Friday Charles bikes = 5.4
Charles rode 1.6 miles more on Thursday than Tuesday
2. Find the number of miles he rode on Tuesday and Thursday.
x = Miles Charles rides every Tuesday
1.6 + x = Miles Charles rides every Thursday
Now, we can write our equation to solve for x, this way:
2.2 + x + 3.8 + x + 1.6 + 5.4 = 19
2x + 13 = 19
2x = 19 - 13
2x = 6
x = 3 ⇒ x + 1.6 = 4.6
