Question 1145425: I tried doing a question saying "you are planning a 425 mile trip to San Fransisco. you drive 40 miles the first day and an equal amount of miles for the next seven days." I need to find the number of miles but also need to write an equation that will find the number of miles driven
I'm so lost and frustrated because I know it's easy but I've tried to see what number fits and none of them do because it's too big? Like for example I tried 40m^7=425 but the numbers go to the thousands
Thank you for the help! Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! "you are planning a 425 mile trip to San Fransisco. you drive 40 miles the first day and an equal amount of miles for the next seven days."
---------------
40 miles the 1st day leaves 425 - 40 = 385 miles to go
==============
385/7 = 55 miles per day.
------------------
Obviously not in a hurry.
