Answer:
jemes biked 2 miles. equation: 2x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
the number of miles james bike is unknown, so use a variable for the miles he rode and solve for the variable to find how far he went.
The equation to determine how many miles James biked would be 2x + 1 = 5.
A linear equation is an equation that has the variable of the highest power of 1.
The standard form of a linear equation is of the form Ax + B = 0.
Carolina biked 1 mile more than twice the number of miles James biked.
Carolina biked a total of 5 miles.
Let James be x,
then 1 mile more than twice number of mile of James will be
= 2x + 1
2x + 1 = 5
2x = 5 -1
2x = 4
x = 2
Therefore the total number of miles biked by Carolina will be 2x + 1 = 5.
