Answer: 15 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is 5.25+1.25x=24 where x is each additional mile so to solve for x it would be 1.25x=18.75 and divide both sides to solve for x
Word Problem:
Take a number, <em>x</em>, double it and then take that result away from 10.
Expression:
Use division or long division (ignore the decimal point)
Then put the decimal in the same spot as the dividend (the number being divided)
