Complete question :
Wade and Alexandra are 240 feet apart when they start walking toward one another. Alexandra walks twice as fast as Wade so whenever Wade travels x feet, Alexandra travels 2x feet. Let z represent the number of feet Wade has
traveled since he started walking toward Alexandra.
Write an expression in terms of z to represent the total number of feet Wade and Alexandra have walked toward one another.
b. Write an expression in terms of z to represent the distance (in feet) between Wade and Alexandra
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Initial distance between Wade and Alexandra = 240 feets
Alexandra walks twice as fast as wade :
Feets traveled by Wade = x
Feets traveled by Alexandra = 2x
Let z = feets traveled by wade since he started walking towards Alexandra
A.) Number of feets they've traveled towards one another in terms of z:
Number of feets traveled by wade = z
Number of feets traveled by Alexandra = 2z
Hence, total feets traveled towards one another :
(distance covered by Wade + distance covered by Alexandra)
= ( z + 2z) = 3z feets
B.) Distance between Wade and Alexandra:
Initial distance - distance covered
(240 - 3z) feets
