To solve the problem:

<span>Let f = distance one way distance on level ground</span>

<span>
Let h = distance rode on the hill</span>

<span>
Write a time equation; where Time = distance/speed:</span>

<span>

level time + uphill time + downhill time + level time = 1hr</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>f/9 + h/6 + h/18 + f/9 = 1 hr</span>

<span>

Multiply equation by 18 to get rid of the denominators</span>

<span>
</span>

 

2f + 3h + h + 2f = 18


4f + 4h = 18


Simplify by dividing this by 4


<span>f + h = 4.5 miles is took her to get to Jon’s house.</span>

The square root of 255+266 is 241. I can't help you with shortcuts as I'm bad at explaining, but I'm sure there are websites that can help you.
