Answer 1

We know that

• She has already cycled 32 kilometers.

,

• She will cycle 2 kilometers per trip.

,

• The total distance is 44 kilometers.

Based on the given information, we can express the following.

`32+2t=44`

Let's solve for t. First, we subtract 32 on each side.

`\begin{gathered} 32-32+2t=44-32 \\ 2t=12 \\ \end{gathered}`

Then, we divide the equation by 2.

`\begin{gathered} (2t)/(2)=(12)/(2) \\ t=6 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Martha will have to make 6 trips.
