Choose the equation that could be used to solve this problem.
Together, Mark and David traveled 570 miles to the beach. If Mark traveled 255 miles, how far did David travel?
(1 point)
David traveled 570 - 255 = 315 miles.
The equation that could be used to solve this problem is:
Mark's distance + David's distance = Total distance
Let's let D represent David's distance:
Mark's distance + D = Total distance
Plugging in the given values:
255 + D = 570
This equation can be used to determine how far David traveled.
To solve this problem, we need to find out how far David traveled. Since we know that the total distance traveled by both Mark and David is 570 miles and we also know how far Mark traveled (255 miles), we can use a simple equation to find the distance traveled by David.
Let D represent the distance traveled by David.
The equation we can use is:
Mark's distance + David's distance = Total distance
Therefore, the equation that could be used to solve this problem is:
255 + D = 570
