Answer 1

Answer:

A. ⇒ The expression is b + 3

B. ⇒ The expression is 2b - 4

C. ⇒ The Dr's office is closer by 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

∵ The distance between Daniel's house and his school is b miles

∵ The swimming pool is 3 miles farther from his school

∴ The distance between Daniel's house and the swimming pool is b + 3

B.

∵ The distance from Daniel's house to his Dr's office is 4 less than twice the distance from home to Daniel's school

∵ The distance between Daniel's house and his school is b

∴ The expression of distance from Daniel's house to his Dr's office is

   2b - 4

C.

∵ b = 3

∴ The distance between his house and swimming pool is:

   3 + 3 = 6 miles

∴ The distance between his house and Dr's office is:

   2(3) - 4 = 2 miles

∴ The Dr's office is closer to Daniel's house than the swimming pool by:

   6 - 2 = 4 miles
