The Shaws drove 225 miles. They are 175 miles away from their destination.
The Shaws drove 225 miles. They are 175 miles away from their destination.

The Shaws’ trip is 225 miles and they’ve driven 175 miles.

Answer 1

The equation \( d - 175 = 225 \) can be interpreted as follows:

• \( d \) represents the total distance of the trip.
• The equation states that if you subtract the distance already driven (175 miles) from the total distance (\( d \)), you are left with 225 miles remaining.

Thus, the correct real-world scenario modeled by this equation is:

The Shaws’ trip is 225 miles and they’ve driven 175 miles.
