Question

THE TOTAL DISTANCE OF A TRIP IS 986 MILES AND EACH HOUR THEY WILL DRIVE 65 MILES. WRITE AN EQUATION TO REPRESENT THE NUMBER OF REMAINING MILES (Y) AFTER DRIVING ANY NUMBER OF HOURS (X)

Answer 1

Since X is any number of hours, finding the distance traveled would be represented as 65x. To find the remaining, you would need to subtract, so it'd look like this: 986-65x. The best thing to do with problems like these is to take it slowly, and highlight the important parts if possible!
