You have to distribute the parentheses first. Since there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses, it counts as a negative 1. After you distribute you should get: -5+6x=20x+12, but that is not your final answer. After you add like terms: 17x=-17. Divide 17 on both sides: x=-1. X=-1 is your final answer.
First, we count how far reached the Nell:
3,5 * 16 = 56 miles
Secondly, we count how far reached the Kristin:
3,5 * 18 = 63 miles
Now we expect the difference in the distance between them:
63 - 56 = 7 miles
The results that Kristin about seven miles driven more than Nell.
