Question

Write an equation for the description

Hector is visiting a cousin who lives 310 miles away. He has driven 65 miles. How many more miles does he need to drive to reach his cousin's home? Let d be how many miles left to reach his cousin's home?

Answer 1

Answer:

310 = 65 + d

or d = 310 - 65 =

245 miles left to reach his cousin's home

Step-by-step explanation:

Hector is visiting a cousin who lives 310 miles away

=> total Distance to be covered by Hector = 310 Miles

Hector has driven 65 miles.

=> Distance Already Covered = 65 miles

miles  he need to drive to reach his cousin's home = d  Miles

=> Remaining distance to be covered = d Miles

total Distance to be covered by Hector  = Distance Already Covered +  Remaining distance to be covered

=> 310 = 65 + d

=> d = 310 - 65

=> d = 245

245 miles left to reach his cousin's home
