The correct expression is d (42 ÷ 2) + 5.
On Tuesday, Mr. Roberts drove 5 miles more than half the distance he drove on Monday. Since half of the distance he drove on Monday would be 42 ÷ 2 = 21 miles, he drove 5 miles more than that, which is 21 + 5 = 26 miles on Tuesday.
On Monday, Mr. Roberts drove
42 miles.
On Tuesday, he drove 5 miles
more than half the distance he
drove on Monday.

you could find the distance, in
miles, Mr. Roberts drove on
Tuesday?
