Question

Jenny biked 3 miles less than twice the number of miles Marcus biked. Jenny biked a total of 4 miles. Write an equation to determine how many miles Marcus biked. A.3 + 2x = 4 B.4 = 2x − 3 C.x − 4 = 2(3) D.x over four = 2(3)

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option (B) 4 = 2x - 3

Explanation:

Let distance travel by Marcus be "x" miles

Then, according to question

Distanced travelled by Jenney will be

twice of "x" minus 3.

Distance travelled by Jenny = 2x - 3.

Also, it is given that Jenny has travelled 4 miles.

then, 4 = 2x - 3. So, here option (B) is the correct option.
