Answer:
A) The algebraic expression
= 12x + 7 = 91
B) He drives 7 miles per day
Step-by-step explanation:
For 11 days straight, Mike drove the same distance every day going to and coming from work.
Step 1
We are told : Mike drives 91 miles in total in those 12 days,
On the 12th day, he drove an extra 7 miles.
Hence:
91 miles - 7 extra miles
= 84 miles
Step 2
The number of miles he drives per day:
84 miles/12
= 7 miles per day
Step 3
The expression we can use to find the distance he travels each day going to and from work is written as:
Let the number of miles he travels be day = x
12x + 7 = 91 miles
12x + 7 = 91
12x = 91 - 7
12x = 84
x = 84/12
x = 7 miles per day
