Answer:
11x
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this item, we let x be the distance that Jimmy drove from his origin and back. Given the speeds, the time it takes for him to travel to and fro are,
t1 = x / 46
t2 = x / 52
respectively.
The equation that would best represent the scenario is,
x/46 - x/52 = 0.6
The value of x from the equation is 239.2.
The trip there takes x/46 which is equal to 239.2/46 which is also equal to 5.2 hours. The travel from the cabin back took 4.6 hours.
Answer:
97
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 1 to both sides:

In cases like this, we have to remember that a root is always positive, so we can square both sides only assuming that

Under this assumption, we square both sides and we have

The solutions to this equation are

But since we can only accept solutions greater than -1, we discard
and accept
.
In fact, we have

and

which is the only solution.
