A biker can ride a bicycle 18 miles in 3 hours. the messenger estimates that it will take 7 hours to bike 22 miles. here is the messengers work: step 1: 22-18=4

step 2: 3+4=7

what mistake did the messenger make?

• the messenger did not make a mistake. the estimate is correct

• the 3 and 4 should have been multiplied instead of added.

• the messenger used addition and Subtraction instead of multiplication and division

• the 22 and 18 should have been divided instead of subtracted

• the 22 and 18 should have been averaged instead of subtracted

The messenger should use addition and Subtraction instead of multiplication and division

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

A biker can ride a bicycle 18 miles in 3 hours. the messenger estimates that it will take 7 hours to bike 22 miles.

He has done two steps :

step 1: 22-18=4

step 2: 3+4=7

The steps done by the biker are wrong. The correct step should be :

In 1 hour, he should cover (18/3) miles i.e. 6 miles

In 7 hours, he will cover (6×7) miles i.e. 42 miles

It means he should use addition and Subtraction instead of multiplication and division. Hence, the correct option is (c).

5x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

you should always add the diagrams and graphs we cannot see. this particular question is kind of borderline because we can make a graph for you.

(f + g)x = -x^2 +3x + 5 + x^2 + 2x

(f + g)x = 5x + 5

the graph of z = 5x + 5 is shown below. always use desmos when in doubt.
