Cindy rode her horse 5 miles more than Christopher last week. Christopher rode 8 miles. Which equation will tell you how many miles Cindy rode?
*
X + 5 = 8
X - 5 = 8
5x = 8
8/x = 5
The correct equation would be X = 8 + 5, which can also be written as X = 13.
X + 5 = 8
X - 5 = 8
5x = 8
8/x = 5
The correct equation would be X = 8 + 5, which can also be written as X = 13.
To find out how many miles Cindy rode last week, we can set up an equation. Let's assume the number of miles Cindy rode is represented by "X".
Given that Cindy rode 5 miles more than Christopher, we can add 5 to the number of miles Christopher rode (which is 8 miles). So the equation becomes:
X + 5 = 8
So, the correct equation to find out how many miles Cindy rode is X + 5 = 8.
