Question

Shane biked 1 mile less than three times the number of miles Lissette biked. Shane biked a total of 7 miles. Write an equation to determine how many miles Lissette biked.
7 = 3x − 1
x − 1 = 3(7)
x over seven = 3(1)
7 + 3x = 1

Answer 1

Answer

Equation : x + 1 + 3x = 7

Miles Lissette biked : 3/2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine the total number of miles biked.

From my understanding. 7 miles is the total number of miles biked by both.

Step 2: Assume the values

Miles Lissette biked = x

Miles Shane biked = 1 + 3x

Step 3: Add miles biked by Lissette and Shane which will be equal to total miles.

Equation for miles Lissette biked: x + 1 + 3x = 7

4x + 1 = 7

x = 6/4

Step 4: Simplify

x = 6/4

x = 3/2

Therefore, the equation for miles Lissette biked is x + 1 + 3x = 7 and Lissete biked for 3/2 miles.

Answer 2

Answer:

7 = 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Miles Shane biked = y

Miles Lissette biked = x

The equation is

(x ⋅  3) - 1 = y

And we know y = 7, so

(x ⋅  3) - 1 = 7

3x - 1 = 7
