Hey, there!
The parentheses would make it multiplication
The word sum means add
A number was unknown, so we will label it as "x"
So, let's see what we're working with here!
If you chose "Option A" the question would be "five multiplied by a number and the sum of 3" (that doesn't give you the right answer"
For B. same thing with option A
For "Option C" its not asking you "a number with sum of three times five"
So, this leaves "Option D." as your answer because 3 is getting multiplied by the sum of some number and five
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Each ride has a fixed cost of 7 and a cost that increases proportionally to the distance travelled of 0.25 per mile. Therefore the total cost of the ride is:

Where "x" is the distance in miles. Marco can only spend 30 on his ride, therefore the cost must be less or equal to that value.

We can solve the linear equation by isolating the "x" variable on the left side.

Marco's travel must be shorter or equal to 92 miles.
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
yes it will
5.48 x 10^4
the decimal place would need to be moved 4 to the right (hence 10^4)
