Choose the equation that could be used to solve this problem.
Together, Kyle and Tyler traveled 425 miles to the beach. If Kyle traveled 240 miles, how far did Tyler travel?
Responses
A 2x = 4252x = 425
B x + 240 = 425x + 240 = 425
C x − 240 = 425x − 240 = 425
D x − 425 = 240x − 425 = 240
The equation that could be used to solve this problem is B) x + 240 = 425.
The equation that could be used to solve this problem is: A) 2x = 425.
To solve this problem, we need to find the distance Tyler traveled. We know that Kyle traveled 240 miles and together they traveled 425 miles.
Since we want to find Tyler's distance, let's assume Tyler's distance is represented by the variable 'x'.
In this case, the correct equation would be:
240 + x = 425
Explanation: We add Kyle's distance (240 miles) to Tyler's distance (x) and set it equal to the total distance they traveled (425 miles).
Therefore, the correct equation to solve the problem would be:
B) x + 240 = 425
