Answer:

48 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

On Monday, Elliot rode 6 miles on a bike. On Tuesday, he rode 6 miles. On Wednesday, he rode 3 times farther than he did Monday and Tuesday combined.

How many miles has Elliot ridden so far this week?

This is calculated as:

Number of miles he rode on Monday + Number of miles he rode on Tuesday + Number of miles he rode on Wednesday

= 6 miles + 6 miles + 3(6 + 6)miles

= 12 miles + 3(12 miles)

= 12 miles + 36 miles

= 48 miles

Therefore, Elliot has ridden 48 miles so far
