Question

Ava has already cycled 9 kilometers this year, plus she plans to cycle 2 kilometers during each trip to work. How many trips will ava have to make to total of 25 kilometers?

Answer 1

Answer:Ava will have a total of 8 trips to make to total of 25 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance that Ava has already cycled this year is 9 kilometers.

she plans to cycle 2 kilometers during each trip to work.

Let x represent her number of trips to work. Therefore, for Ava to make a total of 25 kilometers, it means that

2x + 9 = 25

Subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation, it becomes

2x + 9 - 8 = 25 - 9

2x = 16

x = 16/2 = 8
