Please help me!!

Answer 1

Answer: 7,640

Step-by-step explanation: Because we know that she flew 2,299 the first year and 3,831 the second, we can add them together to get: 6,130. It says that she flew 1,510 more miles the third year than the first and second combined. Therefore: 6,130 + 1,510 = 7,640

Answer 2

The answer is 7,640 miles.

To solve it, find the sum of the first 2 years,
2,299+3,831= 6,130
and then add the additional 1,510 to it,
6,130+1,510=7,640
