The simplified equation equivalent to the total distance in miles is given as,
[tex]x^{2} +5x[/tex]
What is the equation representing the total distance?
It is given that in a road test of a geared bike,
The distance covered on a flat road = (3x - 2)
The distance covered uphill = (x² - 5)
The distance covered downhill = (2x + 7)
Total distance covered in miles as equation,
(3x - 2) + (x² - 5) + (2x + 7)
= 3x - 2 + x² -5 + 2x + 7
= 5x - 7 + x² + 7
= x² + 5x
Thus, the final equation representing the total distance covered in miles by the bike is (x² + 5x)
