I think you would do this first add 3.50+1.75=5.25 ( amount she spent so far)
5.25+2x <= 24.50 solve the equation
first, subtract 5.25 from both sides then you get 2x=24.50 then x=12.25 so about 12 rides
Hey!
With the given information, we can form the equation y = 3x + 5, where y is the total and x is the number of miles.
IF the total amount was 29, we set y equal to 29.
29 = 3x + 5
subtract 5 from both sides
24 = 3x
divide both sides by 3
x = 8
Therefore he traveled 8 miles.
The second option because the key word is “product” which means multiplication:)
