2
minutes to get to work. Write an equation to determine how many minutes it takes Francesca to get to work.
36
- 12
36 = 2x - 12
36 - 2x + 12
36 = x+12

Answer 1

`(x)/(2)+12=36`

Explanation:

As it is given that

Both Riley and Francesca commute to work.

And, the Riley takes 12 minutes more than as Francesca as Riley takes 36 minutes

So for determining how many minutes is required for Francesca to get to work we need

Let us assume the time taken by Francesca to get to work is x

So, the time taken by Riley is

`= (x)/(2)+12`

And, Riley takes 36 minutes to get to work.

So, the equation would be

`(x)/(2)+12=36`
