Answer:

When
x=5 you will travel the same distance both days.

Explanation:

x is a variable and it will affect the distance you travel.

When x is a specific value the distance traveled by bicycle can be the same.

Following equality will help to find that x value.


2x+5=3x


5=x

So when
x=5 you will travel the same distance both days.
