"Since the ratio is 5:7 you can think in total there was 12 equal blocks of money invested. 5 of those blocks belonged to Jim and 7 of those blocks belonged to Gail. Since they invested $3,600 and then made $6,450 in total there is $10,050. Divide that total into 12 equal blocks of $837.50 and 5 of those blocks belong to Jim. So he will get $4,187.50"

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Equation : x + 1 + 3x = 7

Miles Lissette biked : 3/2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine the total number of miles biked.</em>

From my understanding. 7 miles is the total number of miles biked by both.

<em>Step 2: Assume the values</em>

Miles Lissette biked = x

Miles Shane biked = 1 + 3x

<em>Step 3: Add miles biked by Lissette and Shane which will be equal to total miles. </em>

Equation for miles Lissette biked: x + 1 + 3x = 7

4x + 1 = 7

x = 6/4

<em>Step 4: Simplify</em>

x = 6/4

x = 3/2

Therefore, the equation for miles Lissette biked is x + 1 + 3x = 7 and Lissete biked for 3/2 miles.
