Question

Can someone help me please thank you

Answer 1

Answer:

3j + 3m + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, they would each travel 3 miles, so the total would normally be 3j + 3m. However, for today, Jared ran another 21 miles, so 21 miles is added to the total.

Total distance = 3j + 3m + 21

Answer 2

Answer:

(3j) + (3m + 21)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since every time Jared goes running he runs 3 miles we should multiply j by 3. So we will have: 3j

Since every time Malia goes running she runs 3 miles we should multiply m by 3. So we will have 3m

But this month Jared ran an extra 21 miles so we will have to add that after we have multiplied both j and m by 3.

Since we want the total distance they ran that month, we need to add all of these distances.

This will give us 3j + 3m + 21.

In the answer options 3j is inside a parenthesis as well as 3m + 21. Since inside the parenthesis we only have addition and the order which we add doesn't really make a difference, the parenthesis were unnecessary but they won't affect the answer.
