With polynomials the degree is the highest power x or whatever the variable is raised to. In this case, the degree is 3 since the highest power x is raised to is x^3
If the amount of time taken to go said distance is x and the amount of time taken to go back said distance is y, then the amount of miles total is 7x+3y due to that for every hour, she adds 7 miles when going there and 3 miles for walking back. In addition, since the total amount of time is 4 hours, x+y=4 as the total time spent as well as 7x=3y due to that they're the same distance.
x+y=4
7x=3y
Dividing the second equation by 7, we get x=3y/7. Plugging that into the first equation, we get 3y/7+y=4=10y/7 (since y=7y/7). Multiplying both sides by 7 and then dividing both by 10, we get 28/10=2.8=y in hours. Since 0.1 hours is 60/10=6 minutes, and 0.8/0.1=8, 6*8=48 minutes=0.8 hours, meaning that she should plan to spend 2 hours and 48 minutes walking back
Answer:x=-8 and y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:plug in for x.7(2y-4)+5y=6-6614y-28+5y=-6619y-28+-6619y=-38y=-2put it back in.

You would multiply 15 by 2 that would give you 30, therefore you multiply 45 by 2 which will be 90.
