We have a situation expressed with the following equation


L(d)=58+d

where L is the miles after a number d of days and d is the number of days

we must find the miles after 31 days of construction, i.e. we replace the value d = 31


\begin{gathered} L(31)=58+31 \\ L(31)=89 \end{gathered}

In conclusion, the answer is 89 miles
