GCSE Maths Practice: forming-equations

Question 5 of 10

This question tests forming equations from speed, time, distance problems.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l} \text{A car travels at x km/h for 3 hours and at 50 km/h for 2 hours.} \\ \text{The total distance is 290 km. Which equations could represent this?} \end{array} \)

Select all correct options:

\( 3x + 2(50) = 290 \) \( 3x + 100 = 290 \) \( x + 100 = 290 \) \( 3x = 290 - 50 \)

Calculate each leg separately, then add to form equation. Check units.

Total distance = sum of individual legs. Multiply speed by time for each part.
