Question

Cassidy drove fifteen point six miles from school to pick up her brother at home. Then she drove him to a doctor's appointment. If she drove a total of twenty-nine point two miles, which equation gives the number of miles she drove from home to the doctor's appointment?

fifteen point six plus m equals twenty-nine point two

m minus twenty-nine point two equals fifteen point six

twenty-nine point two plus fifteen point six equals m

fifteen point six minus m equals twenty-nine point two

Answer 2

Well lets think...she drove 15.6 miles from school to home

she drove 'm' miles from home to the doctors

\[15.6 + m = 29.2\]
