Kadeem wants to ride his bicycle 52 miles this week. He has already ridden 16 miles. If he rides for 5 more days, write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, the average number of miles he would have to ride each day to meet his goal.
How to solve this for an equation.

Respuesta :

The average number of miles that would be ridden to meet his goal is 7.2 miles.

Total distance = 52 miles

Distance ridden = 16 miles

Number of days left = 5 days

Let the number of miles that'll be ridden for each day be represented by x.

Therefore, the equation to solve the question will be:

5(x) + 16 = 52

5x + 16 = 52

5x = 52 - 16

5x = 36

x = 36/5

x = 7.2

Therefore, he'll have to ride 7.2 miles per day.
