3x is the miles from downstream
4 (x - 1) is the return trip 

Solution:
3x = 4 (x - 1)
3x =4x - 4
-x = -4 
x = 4 

The outward journey 3x = 12 miles 
Return journey is same length 
Therefore the distance travel is 24 miles

Answer:

The answer is 24 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that distance = rate * time

Length of the journey = 3x from downstream

Length of the journey = 4(x-1) from return trip

As the distance is same, we will equate both the journey lengths.

3x= 4(x-1)

Solving for x;

3x=4x-4

-x=-4

x = 4

Thus the forward journey, 3x=3(4) = 12 miles.

Return journey will be of same length that is 12 miles.

The total distance traveled is 12+12=24 miles.

Therefore, the answer is 24 miles.

Solve (x + 3)2 – 5 = 0 using the quadratic formula.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+3)² -5 =0 , use the formula (a+b) ² = a²+b²+2ab

x²+9 +6x -5 =0 , combine like terms

x²+6x +4 =0, use the quadratic formula x = (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a

x= (-6 ±√6²-4*1*4)/2*1

x= (-6 ± √36-16) /2

x= (-6±√20)/2

x=(-6 +2√5)/2 and x=( -6-2√5) /2, factor 2 in the numerator and simplify

x= -3 +√5 and x= -3 -√5

Roger gets \$40$40dollar sign, 40 per day as wages and \$4.50$4.50dollar sign, 4, point, 50 as commission for every pair of shoe
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 4.5p + 40 = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pairs of shoes that Roger must sell in a day to meet his daily earnings goal.

Roger gets $40 per day as wages and $4.50 as commission for every pair of shoes he sells in a day. This means that if he sells p shoes in a day, his total earnings for that day is expressed as

4.5p + 40

Since his daily earnings goal is $112, then the equation to determine how many pairs of shoes he must sell to meet his daily earnings goal is

4.5p + 40 = 112
