Answer:

y=120-4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given the average speed for Day 1 and Day 2 and the time of ride . We asked to Find an expression to determine the total distance travelled in two days.

Day 1 :

Avg Speed = 8 mph

Let the time for travelling = x hrs

Hence Distace Travelled D1= Speed x Time

D1=8x

Day 2 :

Avg Speed = 12 mph

Total time of travelling for two days is given as 10 hours . Hence the time of travelling for day 2 is

= (10-x) hrs

Hence Distance travelled in Day 2 D2 = speed x time

D2 = 12(10-x)

D2=120-12x

Total Distance travelled = D1 + D2

= 8x+120-12x

=120-4x

If the total distance travelled is denoted by y

The expression will be

y=120-4x

Ahh yes, negative exponents always give us a scare once and a while. All the negative means is to flip the position of its base. For instance, if x has a negative exponent and x in the denominator, all you would have to do is move x to the numerator with the same power (except it's no longer negative). Before we substitute x and all the other variables which the values given, let's eliminate the negatives first.

After flipping positions/eliminating the negative exponents it should look like this:

\frac{ 2^{2} x^{3} }{ y^{5} }
which simplifies to 
\frac{ 4 x^{3} }{ y^{5} }
now that everything is simplified, and all negative exponents are eliminated we can substitute x with 2, and y with (-4).
\frac{4 (2)^{3} }{ (-4)^{5} }
which simplifies to 
\frac{4(8)}{(-1024)} = \frac{32}{-1024} = - \frac{1}{32}

Final Answer: - \frac{1}{32} [/tex]
