-2(4x-1)=5+7
(4x-1)=12/-2
4x=-6+1
x=-5/4
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let
y ----> the distance in miles
x ----> the time in hours
using proportion

Simplify


This is a linear direct variation
The unit rate or speed is the slope of the linear equation
The unit rate is 4 miles/hour
Answer:
73 mph during the second hour!
Step-by-step explanation:
Hour 1=54 mph
Hour 2=? mph
Hour 3=82 mph
Total=209 mph
this means that 209=82+54+?
Simplify it and you will get 73
73 mph
Midpoint
We know AC is a segment and B is its midpoint. This means the length of the segment AB is half the length of the segment AC. This also means the length of the segment BC is half the length of AC, and equal to AB.
This can be visualized as follows:
Since AB=7, then BC = 7 and AC=AB+BC = 14
Answer: BC = 7, and AC=!4
