Answer 1

The expression to represent distance from Hailey's house to shopping center is ( m + 2.5 ) miles .

Explanation:

Given as :

The distance from Hailey's house to the shopping center is 2.5 miles more than the distance from Hailey's house to the movie theater

The distance cover from Hailey's house to movie theater = m miles

Let , The distance cover from Hailey's house to shopping center = x miles

Or, The distance cover from Hailey's house to shopping center = distance cover from Hailey's house to movie theater + 2.5 miles

Or, x = m miles + 2.5 miles

So, The expression to represent distance from Hailey's house to shopping center = x = m miles + 2.5 miles

Hence, The expression to represent distance from Hailey's house to shopping center is ( m + 2.5 ) miles . Answer
