Question

Each morning Rin rides 1.5 miles to school and then rides home in the afternoon. Later in the evening, she rides to the park and back home. Over the 5 school days, she rides a total of 25 miles. Which equation can be used to find the distance she rides each evening?

Answer 1

Although you didn’t list any equations, here is the correct one:

15 + 5x = 25

1.5 twice a day makes it so it’s 3 miles total. Thus, you need to multiply that by 5 to get the total amount in one week.

x will solve for each evening per day.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Equation used to find the distance Rin ride in evening is 15 + 5x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Day Rin ride in morning and in the evening.

In Morning, Rin ride 1.5 miles to school then then ride back to house.

Total Distance ride by the Rin in morning = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3 miles

Let, In evening Rin ride x miles to park and park to home

Total Distance ride by the Rin in evening = x

According to the question,

In 5 days,

3 × 5 + x × 5 = 25

15 + 5x = 25

Therefore, Equation used to find the distance Rin ride in evening is 15 + 5x = 25
