2d=570
2 d is equal to 570
d+255=570
d plus 255 is equal to 570
d−255=570
d minus 255 is equal to 570
d−570=255
d minus 570 is equal to 255
The equation that could be used to solve this problem is:
d + 255 = 570
This equation represents the sum of the distance traveled by David (d) and the distance traveled by Mark (255), which is equal to the total distance traveled (570 miles).
To solve this problem, we need to determine how far David traveled. Since the total distance traveled by both Mark and David is 570 miles, and we know that Mark traveled 255 miles, we can use the equation:
d + 255 = 570
This equation represents the situation where 'd' represents the distance traveled by David. By solving this equation, we can find the value of 'd', which will give us the distance David traveled. Therefore, the correct equation to solve this problem is: d + 255 = 570.
