Answer:

x = 3 (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, you need to isolate the variable to one side of the equation. To do that, you need to use reverse operations. For example, the reverse operation of subtraction is addition.

In this case, we have:

15 = 5x

5x is the same thing as 5 (x) or 5 times x. This means the reverse operation is division. So, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 5:

15 = 5x

----- ----

5 5

--------------

3 = x

x = 3

5 miles in 40 minutes : divided both numbers by 5 to get
1 mile in 8 minutes
add the one mile in 8 minutes to the 10 miles in 80 mins and you get 11 miles in 88 minutes
