Question

Mai skated x miles, and Clare skated 35 3 5 farther than that. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the distance Mai skated (x) and the distance Clare skated (y). BoldItalicUnderline

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = \frac{3}{5} + x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Mai's distance as x and Clare's distance as y

$Mai = x\ miles$

$C = \frac{3}{5}$ farther than Mai

Required

Determine the relationship between both

$C = \frac{3}{5}$ farther than Mai

Substitute x for Mai

$C = \frac{3}{5}$ farther than x

Express as a mathematical expression:

$C = \frac{3}{5} + x$

Recall that Clare's distance is represented by y.

So, we have:

$y = \frac{3}{5} + x$

Hence, the relationship is: $y = \frac{3}{5} + x$

Answer 2

Answer: Mai skated x miles, and Clare skated 3/5 farther than that. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the distance Mai skated (x) and the distance Clare skated (y).
