HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Teague is participating in a 50K run to raise money for a charity. He has already raised $102 and will receive $1.40 for each kilometer he travels. If he wants to raise a minimum of $165, how many kilometers does he need to run?

Equation: _________

Define Variable: _________

Solve Equation: _________

Final Answer: _________

Answer 1

165=1.40x+102 (equation) x = amount run and final answer is x=45

Answer 2

Answer: 45 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve this problem is:

$165 = 1.4x + 102

The variable x represents the number of kilometers he travels.

To solve the equation:

Subtract 102 from each side-

63 = 1.4x

Next divide each side by 1.4-

45 = x

Teague needs to run 45 kilometers in order to raise $165.
