-2x – 6 = -6x – 2
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
For this type of equation, you want to combine all like terms. So you can combine the x and the constants. So
-2x - 6 = -6x - 2
+6x +6x
---------------------------
4x - 6 = -2
+6 +6
-----------------
4x = 4
4 multiplied by what number is 4? well 1 so x = 1
Since we are looking for distance, we have to convert the 2nd part (which is the speed) to dostance.
Distance = speed x time
Distance = 5 x 2.25 = 11.25
In the first part, he drove for 3.5 hours. And in the 2nd part, he drove for 2.25 hours which sum up together to be 5.75 hours.
Since we have the distances for both parts now, we just sum it up
which it 168 + 11.25 = 179.25 miles
I hope this is good
