30 - 18 = 12
So he has 12 miles left for this week.
There are 3 more days
So 12 divided by 3
Which is 4, so he needs 3 more hours per day for the remaining 3 days

Substitute x = 5 in the equation.

Therefore, the answer is -15 or last choice when x = 5.
We can set this problem up as an algebraic equation, which we can then solve to find our answer.
We start at -3. So we can start our equation with that:

However, this doesn't represent any change in temperature, just that we start at -3. To show change, we will use the variable
, where
stands for the number of hours. Each hour accounts for a change of -2.5 in degrees, meaning that we must multiply our
by -2.5. We can now add this term into our equation:

We are trying to find when we will reach -18 degrees, so we will set our entire equation equal to -18 and solve:



It will take us 6 hours, or choice A.
