Interpret complex expressions by treating meaningful sub-expressions as single units.

Identify a shared sub-expression across two formulas

Problem

The formulas \(60t~+~10\) and \(60t~-~5\) share \(60t\), where \(t\) is hours and the rate is \(60~\text{miles}~\text{per}~\text{hour}\). Interpret the shared quantity and explain what each formula does to it.

60t is the final distance in miles, and neither formula applies an outer operation.

The formulas share different meanings because their signs differ.

60t is distance traveled in miles at 60 miles per hour for t hours. The first formula adds 10 miles, and the second subtracts 5 miles.

60t is the 10-mile adjustment in the first formula and the 5-mile adjustment in the second.
