Answer 1

the answer to the question

Answer 2

The answer is: 75,000 = 50,670 + 200w

Explanation:

For Plato users: The total number of miles for the truck is equal to the number of miles the truck has initially traveled plus the additional miles that Jeff drives each week. The initial number of miles is 50,670. The total number of miles added is 200w, which is the rate of increase per week, 200, times the number of weeks, w. Set the total number of miles, 75,000, equal to the sum of the initial mileage and the total weekly additional mileage to complete the equation representing this situation.
