Question

Lorenzo's family is driving to the beach to go kayaking with sea otters. The beach is 85 miles from Lorenzo's house. They have already driven 63 miles.

Let m represent how many miles Lorenzo's family has left to drive. Which equation models the problem?
m–85=63
63+m=85
Solve this equation to find how many miles Lorenzo's family has left to drive.

Answer 1

To solve this equation, you need to subtract 63 from both sides to get: m - 85 = 63. Then, to get the value of m, add 85 to both sides of the equation to get: m = 85 + 63. Therefore, Lorenzo's family has 22 miles left to drive.
