Refer to the diagram shown below.

The exit for Freestone is built midway between Roseville and Edgewood,
therefore the distance from O to the new exit is
(1/2)*(33+55) = 44 mi.

Let x =  distance from Midtown to the new exit.
Because the distance from O to the new exit is equal to (x + 17), therefore
x + 17 = 44
x = 44 - 17 = 27 mi.

Answer:
When the new exit is built, the distance from the exit for Midtown to the exit for Freestone will be 27 miles.

Solve. 4.75t + 5 = 13.5t + 12 The solution is t = .
Eddi Din [679]
Answer: t= -0.799
This can also be written as t= -0.8

How to do it :

4.74t+ 5 = 13.5t + 12

first, subtract 4.74t from both sides
5= 8.76t + 12

next, subtract 12 from each side
-7 = 8.76t

next, divide 8.76 from each sides

-0.799 = t
