Question 195773: Hi would you help me to figure the formula for T(x). I am having a hard time with word problems.
Before and after. Jessica traveled 2x +50 miles in the
morning and 3x - 10 miles in the afternoon. Write a
polynomial T(x) that represents the total distance that she
traveled. Find the T(20).

Jessica traveled 2x +50 miles in the
morning and 3x - 10 miles in the afternoon. Write a
polynomial T(x) that represents the total distance that she
traveled. Find the T(20).
-----------------
Total Distance traveled = 2x+50 + 3x-10
T(x) = 5x + 40
----------------------
T(20) = 5*20 + 40
T(20) = 140 miles
