In this activity, you will create a linear equation to model a real-world situation. Then you will solve the equation to find the solution. Gavin likes biking. He never misses a chance to go for a ride when the weather is nice. This week his goal is to bike about 65 total miles over four days. Each day, he wants to ride 1.5 times as far as he rode the day before. How far should he ride on each of the four days to reach his goal?

Question 1
To solve this problem, first you need to write the expressions for the distance Gavin needs to bike each day. Then, relate these expressions to create an equation that represents Gavin’s situation.

Part A

If x is the number of miles Gavin bikes on the first day, write an expression for the distance he should bike on each of the following three days.
