Answer 1

Answer:

The expression to represent distance from Hailey's house to shopping center is ( m + 2.5 ) miles   .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance from Hailey's house to the  shopping center is 2.5 miles more than the  distance from Hailey's house to the movie theater

The distance cover from Hailey's house to movie theater = m miles

Let , The distance cover from Hailey's house to shopping center = x miles
