This equation shows how the distance Tessa has cycled depends on the number of trips she has taken to work.

Question

d = t + 8

The variable t represents the number of trips she has made, and the variable d represents the total distance cycled in kilometers. After 2 trips to work, how many kilometers will Tessa have cycled in total?

kilometers

Answer 1

To find out how many kilometers Tessa has cycled after 2 trips, you can substitute \( t = 2 \) into the equation:

\[ d = t + 8 \]

Substituting \( t \):

\[ d = 2 + 8 \]

\[ d = 10 \]

So after 2 trips to work, Tessa will have cycled a total of 10 kilometers.
