Distance = 30 mph * time
distance = 4 mph * time

distance = 30 mph * t
distance = 4 mph * (17-t)

Since distance is equal then
30 mph * t = 4 mph * (17-t)
 
30t = -4t + 68

34t = 68

t = 2 hours

We see the return trip time is (17 -t ) which is 15 hours.
The beginning trip time is 2 hours.

Double Check
Beginning trip = 30 miles * 2 = 60 miles
Return trip = 4 miles * 15 = 60 miles.

Mrs. Hinely grows roses. There are 6 roses on each of her 10 rose bushes. How many roses in all are on Mrs. Hinely's rose bushes
diamong [38]
In order to find the total number of roses, we can use multiplication. Since there are 6 roses on each bush, we can say that the answer is: 6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6+6. Since multiplication is a way to quickly add the same number, we can use 6*10. This becomes 60. 

Good luck :D

lawyer [7]

Answer:

y=250x+2000

Step-by-step explanation:

The farmer starts with 2000 trees and adds 250 each year.

Year 0   2000

Year 1   2000 + 250 = 2000+ 1(250)

Year 2   2000 + 250 +250 = 2000 + 2(250)

Year 3   2000 + 250 + 250 + 250 = 2000 + 3(250)

Year 4   2000 + 250 + 250 + 250 + 250 = 2000 + 4 (250)

.....

Year X   2000 + 250x
