Question

Miguel rode his bicycle 4 miles less than 5 times the number of miles that Nathan rode. If Miguel rode his bicycle 6 miles, how many miles did Nathan ride? A. 2 miles B. 10 miles C. 19 miles

Answer 1

Answer:Nathan tide 2 miles

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of miles that Nathan rode.

Let y represent the number of miles that Miguel rode his bicycle.

Miguel rode his bicycle 4 miles less than 5 times the number of miles that Nathan rode. This means that

y = 5x - 4

If Miguel rode his bicycle 6 miles, then y = 6

Therefore, the number of miles that Nathan rode his bicycle would be

6 = 5x - 4

5x = 6 + 4 = 10

x = 10/5 = 2 miles
