Chloe Pratt · Answer 1

First we write the expressions of each day separately:

Day 1:

you traveled x miles:

x

Day 2:

you drove 58 miles more than 3 times the thousands on Day 1:

3x + 58

Day 3:

your family went 25 fewer thousands than Day 1

x-25

Then, we have:

Day 1 + Day 2 + Day 3:

x + (3x + 58) + (x-25)

Rewriting:

x + 3x + x + 58 - 25

5x + 33

Then, for x = 100

5 * (100) + 33 = 533 miles.

answer:

5x + 33

Total miles that family traveled from home to Disney World is

533 miles
