Respuesta :

1 )  Billy walks 15 miles every day to soccer practice and he had 5 practices last week.

We know that,  1 mile = 1760 yards

So, 15 miles = (15× 1760) yards = 26400 yards

Thus the total distance walked in 5 practices will be: [tex](26400*5)yards = 132000 yards[/tex]


2) Mark's current age is [tex]t[/tex] years

So, his age was in 10 years ago [tex]=(t-10)years[/tex]

Given that, his current age is 3 times his age 10 years ago.

So, the equation to represent this situation will be :  [tex]t= 3(t-10)[/tex]
