Question

Genesis wants to ride her bicycle 31 miles this week. She has already ridden 7 miles. If she rides for 4 more days, write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, the average number of miles she would have to ride each day to meet- her goal. Equation: Answer: X = ​

Answer 1

Since she has already ridden 7 miles out of 31 miles,

remaining miles to be ridden

4x = 24
x = 6
