Dale drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. when dale drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 5 hours. if his average rate was 18 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does dale live from the mountains? do not do any rounding.
Answer:
Dale live 315 miles from the mountains
Step-by-step explanation:
Let y be the speed of Dale to the mountains
Time taken by Dale to the mountains=7 hrs
Therefore distance covered by dale to the mountain = speed × time = 7y ......eqn 1
Time taken by Dale back home = 5hours
Since it speed increased by 18 miles per hour back home it speed = y+18
So distance traveled home =speed × time = (y+18)5 ...... eqn 2
Since distance cover is same in both the eqn 1 and eqn 2.
Eqn 1 = eqn 2
7y = (y+18)5
7y = 5y + 90
7y - 5y = 90 (collection like terms)
2y = 90
Y = 45
Substitute for y in eqn 1 to get distance away from mountain
= 7y eqn 1
= 7×45
= 315 miles.
∴ Dale leave 315 miles from the mountains

4x=6x-14
First isolate the variables onto one side and the numbers on the other so subtract 4x from both sides of the equation and add 14 to both sides of the equation to get 14=2x then you are going to want to completely isolate the variable so you divide 2 on both sides to get an answer of X=7
