Question

Each morning, Jon rides 1.5 miles to school and then rides to his aunt’s house after school. Later in the evening, he takes the same route to get back to his house. Over 5 days, he rides 44 miles.

Which equation can be used to find x, the distance from school to his aunt’s house?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer for X is 2.9miles

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of days=5

Distance covered in these five days=44miles

distance covered everyday=44/5

                                             =8.8miles per day

Distance from his home to school=1.5miles

Let the distance from his school to his aunts house is=X

                                 =1.5+1.5+x+x=8.8miles  

                                 =3+2x=8.8miles

                                  =2x=8.8-3

                                  =2x=5.8

                                 =x=5.8/2

                                 =x=2.9miles

Hence the distance from his school to his aunts house is 2.9miles.
