Answer: 8 + 3/4W

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Leah is training for a bike race she start by biking 8 miles during every training session and that each week she plans to increase the distance of her training session by 3/4 mile W the number of weeks.

The expression to show the distance Leah bikes in a training session after W weeks will be:

= 8 + 3/4W

For example, after 4 weeks, the distance biked will be:

= 8 + 3/4W

= 8 + (3/4 × 4)

= 8 + 3

= 11 miles
