Answer 2

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.
