The fraction is one whole aka one
Answer:
28 + 8y - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the problem;
-2(3x + 12y - 17x - 16y + 4)
Collecting like terms;
-2(3x -17x + 12y - 16y + 4)
-2(-14x - 4y + 4)
28 + 8y - 8
None of the options matches the correct answer.
<span>Let time taken by Luke to cover the distance = x hours
Speed of Luke = 6 miles per hour
Therefore, Distance covered by Luke = 6x ------(1)
Speed of Micah = 4 miles per hour
Since Micah walked 2 miles before Luke started running, Luke started 1/2 an hour after Micah started.
Therefore time taken by Micah to cover the distance = x+1/2
Distance covered by Micah = 4(x + 1/2) -------(2)
Equating (1) and (2)
6x = 4(x+1/2)
6x = 4x +2
2x = 2
x= 1
Therefore Luke would take 1 hour to cover the distance covered by Micah.</span>
