Question

Lyla is planning on riding his bike no more than 65 miles during the week. She has already ridden 17 miles. Write and solve an inequality to find how many more miles she can ride. Then interpret the solution.

Answer 1

17 + m ≤ 65

Explanation:

Maximum distance = 65 miles

Number of miles already ridden = 17

Expression to represent how many more miles, 'm' she can ride ;

Number of miles already ridden + m ≤ maximum distance

17 + m ≤ 65

m ≤ 65 - 17

m ≤ 48

The amount of additional miles Lyla can ride is at most 48 miles
