C. 58-5t
D. 5(58-t)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The expression that represents the number of miles Peter drove, where t represents the number of miles Tim drove, is A. 5t-58. This expression can be derived from the given information as follows: Peter drove the difference of five times the number of miles Tim drove and 58. This can be written as an equation: Peter's miles = 5 * Tim's miles - 58. Since t represents the number of miles Tim drove, we can substitute t for Tim's miles in the equation to get: Peter's miles = 5t - 58. Is there anything else you would like to know?
