Answer 1

The expression showing the total distance traveled in all is;

`(802\text{ + 1041n) miles}`

The part describing the distance traveled to and from Nashville is 1041n

Here, we want to write an expression

We are told to represent the number of unknown round trips to Nashville by n

A total of four round trips was made to Erie

1 round trip to Erie is a distance of 205 miles

4 round trips to Erie will be;

4 * 205 = 820 miles

The unknown number of round trips to Nashville is n

1 round trip t Nashville is a distance of 1,041 miles

Thus, n round trips will be;

1041 * n = 1041n miles

Thus, the total number of miles it traveled in all will be;

(820 + 1041n) miles

The part of the expression representing the number of miles it traveled to and from Nashville is 1041n miles
