Question

Riley and Francesca both commute to work. Riley's commute on the train takes 12 minutes more than 1/2 as many minutes as Francesca's commute by car. It takes Riley 36 minutes to get to work. Write an equation to determine how many minutes it takes Francesca to get to work.A. 36 = 1/2x − 12B. 36 = 2x − 12 C. 36 = 2x + 12D. 36 = 1/2x + 12

Answer 1

Let's write the equation and explain each part of it

So the equation that determines how many minutes it takes Francesca to get to work is:

36=1/2x+12

The answer to the question is D.
