In two trips, an airplane flew 5,882 miles in all. The first trip was 2,203 miles long. Which distance is a
reasonable estimate of how many miles the airplane
flew on the second trip?

3679 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance covered = 5882 miles

Distance covered on first trip = 2203 miles

Distance flown on second trip = total distance covered - distance covered on first trip

Distance flown on second trip = (5882 - 2203) miles = 3679 miles

since we know that the two functions are equal, f (x) = g

(x), therefore when we equate the two equations the result should be similar to

3x = x – 4:

a. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4

equating the two functions:

3x = x – 4             (correct)

so we now got our answer (a)
