x2 + 3x + 5


x2 + 3x + 9


3x2 + 5


3x2 + 9

Verified Answer :

The simplified expression that is equivalent to the total distance, in miles, Joy covers is;

A: x² + 3x + 5 miles

Total distance covered

We are given;

Distance cycled = x² + 7 miles

Distance ran = 2x miles

Distance swam = x - 2 miles

Thus;

Total distance she covers = x² + 7 + 2x + x - 2

Total distance = x² + 3x + 5 miles
