Answer:

There are 13 miles between the opera house and Bryan's home.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation $2.50x+3=35.5$ can be used to find the distance in miles (x) between the opera house and Bryan's home.

We will solve this to get the value of x.

$2.50x+3=35.5$

=> $2.50x=35.5-3$

=> $2.50x=32.50$

we get x = 13

Hence, there are 13 miles between the opera house and Bryan's home.
