Question

Patrick biked 27 miles last week. He biked 9 miles more than Ibrain. The equation m + 9 = 27 gives the number of miles m that Ibrain biked last week. Which is the solution of the equation?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can solve the equation m + 9 = 27 by subtracting 9 from both sides to isolate m:

m + 9 - 9 = 27 - 9

m = 18

Therefore, Ibrain biked 18 miles last week.
