During the school year, a bus driver made 7 trips to the museum. The distance from the school to the museum is 36 miles. Write and solve equations to find how many miles the bus driver drove for the 7 trips.

Given:

Number of trips = 7

Distance from the school to the museum = 36 miles.

To find:

Write and solve equations to find how many miles the bus driver drove for the 7 trips.

Solution:

Let x be the number of trips and y be the total number of miles the bus driver drove.

Distance from the school to the museum = 36 miles.

1 trip means from the school to the museum and then from the museum to the school.

Distance covered in 1 trip = 2×36 = 72 miles.

Distance covered in x trips = 72x miles.

Substitute x=7 in the above equation to find the total distance the bus driver drove for the 7 trips.

Therefore, the bus driver drove 504 miles for the 7 trips.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
