Question

5. Jessie has jogged 30 miles since starting her new exercise program

plans to continue jogging 6 miles every day for the next x days,
Which expression below represents the total amount of miles that she will
have jogged after x days?
A. *(30 + 6)
B. 6(x + 30)
C. 6x + 30
D. 6 + 30x

Answer 1

The answer would be C.

Step-by-step explanation:
Since she plans to jog 6 miles PER DAY, we know we’ll be using a variable- x. So we know that we’ll be using 6x, but that leaves the original 30 miles. Since the 6x is also talking about miles, it’s a matter of addition. This brings us to the answer, 6x+30. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

30 is the b in this equation which represents the number of miles she has already jogged. 6 represents the number of miles she jogs every day for x amount of days. x could be 5, in which case it would be represented as 6*5+30=60. But since we don't know what x is, it is just 6x+30.
