Question

Taylor is running a 26.2 mile marathon. Let X represent the number of miles Taylor has run since he started the race.

A. write an expression (in terms of x) that represent Taylor's distance in miles from the finish line
B. write a formula to represent Taylor's distance in miles from the finish line, d, in terms of X

Answer 1

A. The expression that represents Taylor's distance in miles from the finish line, in terms of X, is:

Distance from the finish line = 26.2 - X

B. The formula to represent Taylor's distance in miles from the finish line, d, in terms of X is:

d = 26.2 - X

In this formula, 'd' represents the distance Taylor is from the finish line, and 'X' represents the number of miles Taylor has run since he started the race. The expression '26.2 - X' subtracts the distance Taylor has run from the total length of the marathon, giving us the distance he has yet to run until he reaches the finish line.

Hope this helps you!! Have a good day/night!!
