Explanation:

Zane has already walked 15 kilometer this week, plus he plans to walk 2 kilometers during each trip to school. How many trips will Zane have to make in all to walk a total of 41 kilometers?

Let the number of trips = x

This is solved as:

41 = 15 + 2x

41 - 15 = 2x

26 = 2x

x = 26/2

x = 13

Therefore, Zane will have make 13 trips in all to walk a total of 41 kilometers
