Rick is driving to his uncle's house in Greensville, which is 120 miles from Rick's town. After covering x miles, Rick sees a sign stating that Greensville is 20 miles away. Which equation, when solved, will give the value of x?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The equation which will give the value of x when solved is C. x + 20 = 120

x=100

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance=120 miles

Distance covered=x miles

Distance remaining=20 miles

The equation is

Total distance=Distance covered + distance remaining

120 miles= x miles + 20 miles

120 miles - 20 miles = x miles

100 miles =x miles

Check:

Total distance=Distance covered + distance remaining

120 miles = 100 miles + 20 miles

120 miles =120 miles

The equation which will give the value of x when solved is C. x+20=120
