Answer:
I think x = 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3x + x +10 + 5x + 2x + 2 =56
(3x + x + 5x + 2x) + (10 + 2) = 56 (Combine Like Terms)
11x + 12 = 56
11x + 12 = 56
Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.
11x + 12 − 12 = 56 − 12
11x = 44
Step 3: Divide both sides by 11.
11x/11 = 44/11
x = 4
Remember that multiplying is how many times you add a number to itself. If you multiply by 3, you add the first number to itself 3 times.
When you multiply a given number by 1, you get the first number (it doesn't change).
When you multiply by a number less than one, say, one half, you'll end up with half of the original number --> a smaller number.
When you multiply a number by more than one, you will get a number bigger than the original because you are adding it to itself more than once. Even if it is a fraction or decimal, if it is greater than 1, then the new product will be larger than the original number.
Hope this helps! :)
1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5
5 x 9 = 45
Therefore, the total number of km is 45.
