Answer:

288 miles

Explanation:

Time taken with traffic = 9 hours

Time taken without traffic = 4 hours

Speed with traffic = x mph

Speed without traffic = x+40 mph

Distance = Speed × time

Distance travelled in 9 hours

9x

Distance travelled in 4 hours

4(x+40)

Since both the distances are same

9x-4(x+40)=0\\\Rightarrow 9x-4x-160=0\\\Rightarrow 5x-160=0\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{160}{5}\\\Rightarrow x=32\ mph

Speed with traffic = 32 mph

Distance travelled = 9×32 = 288 miles

∴ Shen lives 288 miles from the mountains

Why was the Articles of Confederation discarded?
Archy [21]
The Articles of Confederation were discarded in favor of a stronger more centralized federal government because of problems in governing that were associated with weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. The Articles failed to allow the national government to collect taxes, resolve inter-state disputes, and govern effectively more generally. Therefore, at the Constitutional Convention they decided to scrap the Articles and write an entirely new Constitution.
