Let d be the distance between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Which expression can you use to represent the distance between Pittsburgh and St. Louis? Please help me

Respuesta :

We are given statement : The distance between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and St. Louis, Missouri, is 17 miles less than 5 times the distance between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, Ohio.

The distance between Pittsburgh and Cleveland = d.

We need to write an expression for distance between Pittsburgh and St. Louis.

And it's "17 miles less than 5 times the d".

5 times of d is = 5d.

17 miles less than 5d = 5d -17.

Therefore, 5d -17 expression can you use to represent the distance between Pittsburgh and St. Louis.


Answer:

5d- 17
