Please help! WILL GIVE A MEDAL AND IF YOU DON'T GET ONE, I'LL BE SURE TO FAN YOU!!!! (:

The bicycle path at the park is a loop that covers a distance of m miles. Jorge biked 2 loops each on Monday and Wednesday and 3 loops on Friday. On Sunday, Jorge biked 10 miles. Write an expression in simplest form that represents the total distance that Jorge biked this week.

Answer 1

m = 2 + 3 + 10
m = 15

Answer 2

it's supposed to be an expression, not an equation

Answer 3

2 + 3 + 10

Answer 4

10+ 2(2m)+ 3m
since you don't know how many miles the loops are you have to write it represent it by writting m. What do you think?

Answer 5

is it 2m + 3m + 10 m =15m?

Answer 6

see becuase he did 2 loops on monday and wednesday it has to be 2m+2m which can also be written as 2(2m). And then he did 3 loops on friday which is 3m. Then in the end you just add 10 miles.

Answer 7

so..i'm right?

Answer 8

umm give me a sec :)

Answer 9

kk

Answer 10

\[10+2(2m)+3m= total miles\]
\[10+ 4m +3m= total miles\]
\[10+ 7m= total miles \]
this is what i got :) in simplest form

Answer 11

Answer 14

Id be happy to help
I hope I get the problem though

Answer 15

Mala is y years old. Her sister is 4 years older than Mala. Write an expression in simplest form that represents the sum of the ages of the sisters.

Answer 16

ok so:
Mala's age= y
Sister's age = 4+y
therefore the equation is:

Mala+sister= sum of age
y+(4+y)= sum of age

does this make sense or is there anything confusing?

Answer 17

if you want an expression you could just write: y+(4+y)
