Answer:

Part A: m+1.37=7.9

Part B: 6.53 miles are left to be repaired.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of repaired part = 1.37 miles

Total length to be repaired = 7.9 miles

Miles left to be repaired = m

Part A:

Create an equation to show the relationship between the number of miles repaired and the number of miles left to be repaired, m.

Miles left to be repaired + Length of repaired part = Total length to be repaired

m+1.37=7.9

Part B

How many miles are left to be repaired?

Subtracting 1.37 from both sides

6.53 miles are left to be repaired.
