We calculate the speed by dividing the distance over time:
s = d/t
So the distance described in the problem is always the same, A to B and B to A.
But we are told that;
7 = d/t
7 = 2d/(t + 2)
that is, the first equation say that at speed 7 km/h a distance d is walked in a time t
the second equation say that at a average speed of 7 (that is 8 on one way and 6 in the other: 8 + 6 = 14, half of it), twice the distance is walked in a time equal to the first time plus 2 minutes.
So we have a system of linear equations, 2 of them with two unknowns, we can solve that:
7 = d/t
7 = 2d/(t + 2<span>)
</span>lets simplify them:
7t = d
7(t + 2) = 2d
7t = 2d - 14
we substitute the first in the second:
<span>7t = 2d - 14
</span><span>7t = d
</span>so:
d = 2d - 14
d = 14
so the distance between A and B is 14 km

What property is occurring in the following example? 11.5 + (- 11.5) = 0
kramer

Answer: A property occurring in the example 11.5 + (-11.5) = 0, is additive inverse.

Step-by-step explanation:

A property where sum of any number and its inverse is equal to zero is called additive inverse property.

For example, 11.5 + (-11.5) = 0

Here, 11.5 is the number and its inverse is (-11.5). The sum of both these is equal to zero. Hence, it shows a property of additive inverse.

Thus, we can conclude that property occurring in the example 11.5 + (-11.5) = 0, is additive inverse.

What is the opposite of the opposite of -1.4?​
sattari [20]

Answer:   -1.4

The opposite of -1.4 is 1.4; you flip from negative to positive.

Then taking the opposite of 1.4 gets us back to -1.4 again

Effectively the two opposites cancel out and nothing changes.
