Answer:
The equation that represents Liz's walk is:
5x + 3 = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Liz walked 6/10 mile, stopped for a break, and walked the rest of the way to the market.
Let Liz's walk after that break be x mile.
Before the break, she had walked 6/10 miles. Adding these distances, she had walked a total of (x + 6/10) miles.
Because it is 8/10 miles from Liz's house to the market, all the walks she had to do to get to the market is 8/10 miles.
That is,
(x + 6/10) is the same as 8/10.
x + 6/10 = 8/10
Multiplying by 10, we have
10x + 6 = 8
Dividing by 2 gives
5x + 3 = 4
And this is the equation we wish to write.
