Question

On Monday David travels m miles. On Tuesday he travels 35 more than he did on Monday. On Wednesday he travels a total of twice the distance he travelled Monday. Work out and expression of the total distance he travels during the three days

Answer 1

To find the total distance David travels during the three days, we add up the distances he travels on each day: m + (m + 35) + 2m = 4m + 35 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total distance David travels during the three days, we need to add up the distances he travels on each day.

On Monday, David travels m miles.

On Tuesday, he travels 35 more than he did on Monday, so he travels m + 35 miles.

On Wednesday, he travels twice the distance he traveled on Monday, so he travels 2m miles.

To find the total distance, we add up the distances on all three days:

Total distance = m + (m + 35) + 2m = 4m + 35 miles.

Answer 2

m equals Monday
m + (m + 35) + (2m)
Now add the terms
4m + 35
In this case (m+ 35) equals Tuesday because it is 35 more than Monday. (2m) equals Wednesday because it it twice as much as Monday is. Now we don't know the amount of distance for Monday so we just leave it like that
Again the ANSWER IS 4m + 35
