Answer: the equation to solve is x + (2x + 3) = 5x
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance from jades house is 3 miles more than twice the distance from the coffee shop to jades school so if the distance from the coffee shop to jades school is x then it would be 2x + 3 because it’s 3 miles more than twice the distance. Since the distance from the coffee shop to her school is 5 times the x distance then that becomes 5x hence the equation. After solving you get x = 1.5 which you then substitute into 2x + 3 so 2(1.5) + 3 = 6
So the answer is 6 miles.
