Problema Solution

Her average speed was 8 miles per hour. Today, she went on another ride, this time averaging

14 miles per hour. In the two days, she biked for a combined total time of 13 hours.

Let x be the number of hours she biked yesterday. Write an expression for the combined total number of miles she biked in the two days.

Answer provided by our tutors

Since distance = speed*time we have:

distance = 8x + (13 - x)*14

distance = 182 - 6x miles

The expression for the combined total of miles is 182 - 6x miles.
