Answer:
The answer is x + 2 5/6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Emilie rides her bike x miles before it gets a flat tire.
She walks 1/3 mile to a bus stop and then goes another 2 1/2 miles or 5/2 miles on a bus.
The equation would be:
x + 1/3 + 2 1/2
But, since that isn't an option, we have to simplify the equation.
x + 1/3 + 5/2
= x + [tex]\frac{2+15}{6}[/tex]
= x + 17/6
= x + 2 5/6
Thus, the answer is x + 2 5/6.
