Answer:
Javier rode bike 34 minutes before lunch.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of minutes Javier rode the bike after lunch be = x minutes
Then according to question number of minutes he rode the bike after lunch
[tex]= 5x-1 [/tex]
Total number of minutes he rode bike = 41 min
Therefore,
[tex] x+5x-1 =41 [/tex]
On solving
[tex] 6x= 41+1 =42 [/tex]
Divide both side by 6 we get
[tex] x= 7[/tex]
Number of minutes he ride before lunch
[tex] = 5(7)-1 = 35-1=34 [/tex] min
