Answer:
Techincally it would be 5 miles, but if they split the distance and run part of the 5 miles, it would be 5/6 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
is the question multiple choice? if not I'd go with absolute value
P = 6
Q = 15
How to solve:
Note the equal sign. This means that both expression's out come must equal each other. For that to happen, everything inside both expressions must equal each other. In this case:
6x + Q = Px + 15; 6x + 15 = 6x + 15

Answer: a=-0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
14a - (2a +9)=2/3 (12a-18)
14a - 2a -9=2/3 * 6(2a-3)
12a-9=2*6/3 (2a-3)
12a-9=2*2(2a-3)
12a-9=4(2a-3)
12a-9=8a-12
4a-9=-12
4a=-3
a=-3/4
a=-0.75
So,
All we have to do is multiply the amount of water Andy carried by the fractional amount he drank.
1/2 * 2/3
This is pretty simple. To halve TWO-thirds, just halve the numerator, since it's such a nice number.
Presto. Half of two is one.
Therefore,
1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3
Andy drank 1/3 gallons of water on his hike. That's 5 1/3 cups of water. I would estimate his hike to be about 3 miles. Easy peasy.
