An equation that can be used to find x, the distance from school to his aunt’s house is: B. 2(1.5 + x) = 44
In Mathematics and Physics, distance is the amount of ground that is travelled by a physical object or body over a particular period of time and speed, irrespective of its direction, starting point or ending point.
Let the variable x represent the distance between Jon's school and his aunt’s house.
Based on the information provided below, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the to and fro distance covered by Jon in the morning and evening can be modeled by the following equation:
2(1.5 + x) = 44
1.5 + x = 22
x = 22 - 1.5
x = 20.5 miles.
Complete Question:
Each morning, Jon rides 1.5 miles to school and then rides to his aunt’s house after school. Later in the evening, he takes the same route to get back to his house. Over 5 days, he rides 44 miles. Which equation can be used to find x, the distance from school to his aunt’s house?
5 + 2(1.5 + x) = 44
2 (1.5 + x) = 44
5 (1.5 + x) = 44
5 × 2 (1.5 + x) = 44
