5x-12=2x+24
-2x -2x
3x-12=24
+12 +12
3x=36
/3 /3
x=12
Answer:
562 = 85x +52
x is the number of days
Veronica traveled for 7 days
Step-by-step explanation:
562 = 85x + 52
510 = 85x Subtract 52 on both sides
6 = x Divide by 85 to isolate x
Even though Veronica only had to drive 52 miles on the last day of her trip, it still counts as a day of driving. Hence, she traveled 7 days in total.
