Simplifying8x + 18 + -1x + -9 = 0
Reorder the terms:18 + -9 + 8x + -1x = 0
Combine like terms: 18 + -9 = 99 + 8x + -1x = 0
Combine like terms: 8x + -1x = 7x9 + 7x = 0
Solving9 + 7x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9' to each side of the equation.9 + -9 + 7x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 00 + 7x = 0 + -97x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -97x = -9
Divide each side by '7'.x = -1.285714286
Simplifyingx = -1.285714286

You bike 1 mile the first day of your training, 1.3 miles the second day, 1.9 miles the third day, and 3.1 miles the fourth d

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

19.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have:

$d_1=1 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 1st day

$d_2=1.3 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 2nd day

$d_3=1.9 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 3rd day

$d_4=3.1 mi$ is the distance travelled during the 4th day

We notice that the difference between the distance travelled on the (n+1)-th day and the distance travelled on the n-th day doubles every day. In fact:

$d_2-d_1=0.3\\d_3-d_2=2\cdot 0.3 = 0.6\\d_4-d_3=2\cdot 0.6 = 1.2$
