Mr. Smith and Mr. Stein were driving to a business meeting 230 miles from their office. Mr. Smith drove the first
y miles, then Mr. Stein drove the rest of the way.

Write an algebraic expression for how many miles Mr. Stein drove.

Explain your reasoning and show work.

Respuesta :

Total distance = 230 miles.


Distance traveled by mr Smith + Distance traveled by mr Stein = 230

Distance traveled by mr Stein = 230 - Distance traveled by mr Smith

Therefore Distance traveled by mr Stein = 230 - y

Or to make things shorter

Let Distance traveled by mr Stein = x

This implies x + y = 230

X = 230 - Y

The algebraic expression for miles Mr. Stein drove is 230 - y.

Given that,

Mr. Smith and Mr. Stein were driving to a business meeting 230 miles from their office.

Mr. Smith drove the first  y miles, then Mr. Stein drove the rest of the way.

We have to determine,

An algebraic expression for how many miles Mr. Stein drove.

According to the question

Mr. Smith drove the first  y miles, then Mr. Stein drove the rest of the way.

Mr. Smith and Mr. Stein were driving to a business meeting 230 miles from their office.

Then,

An algebraic expression for miles Mr. Stein drove = Total driving distance -

Mr. Smith drove the first  y miles.

An algebraic expression for miles Mr. Stein drove = 230 - y

Hence, The algebraic expression for miles Mr. Stein drove is 230 - y.
