She has run 21 miles already. Let t be the number of additional miles added on.
In total, she has run t+21 miles
This is going to be set greater than 38 since "Ann will run more than 38 miles"
So we have this inequality
t+21 > 38
we solve for t by subtracting 21 from both sides
t+21 > 38
t+21-21 > 38-21
t+0 > 17
t > 17
The final answer is t > 17
which means that the possible additional number of miles she could run is anything larger than 17. So t = 18 is one possibility.
answer: y= 2x^2+2x-4
steps:
y= (2x+4)(x-1)
*FOIL method* y= (2x^2-2x+4x-4)
*simplify* y= 2x^2+2x-4
The answer is to your question is x=-6
