Question

A straight highway is 100 miles long, and each mile is marked by a milepost numbered from 0 to 100. A rest area is going to be built along the highway exactly 7 miles away from milepost 58. If m is the milepost number of the rest area, which of the following equations represents the possible locations for the rest area?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The milepost number of the rest area is 7 miles away from milepost 58, so it can be represented by the equation:

m = 58 + 7

This equation states that the milepost number of the rest area is equal to 58 plus 7, or 65. Therefore, the rest area can be located at milepost 65.
