Your equation should be 5 - r + 2 = 3.
Answer: The speed of the motorboat is 70 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation: Subtract the initial distance, 35, from the distance at any given time, then divide the remainder by the hours.
For example, at 2 hours, the distance shown on the graph is 175 miles
Subtract: 175 -35 = 140. Then divide 140/2 = 70
At 4 hours, the distance shown is 315 miles.
Subtract: 315 - 35 = 280. Then divide 280/4 = 70
70 mph is the speed.
I believe it would be 8 X (100+30+2) hope that helps!
If you use your subtraction right when you use deceleration as for example like 4.5 from 79 well you know it had to slow down so the correct Answer for this would end up as 17 .5 Try the easy way like
79 dived by 4.5 would get you the same answer but don't divide backwards you will get an in correct answer
hope i helped;)
