Answer:

A). 30 miles

B). 3 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the distance is y and the time to be x

Speed= distance/time

If the bird traveled at a speed of 20mph,it will be

20 = y/x

Y = 20x______ equation 1

And on the Bird's return it took it flew at a speed 4 miles per hour slower and had 6 miles left to cover after x hours

20 - 4 = (y - 6)/x

16 = (y - 6) /x_____ equation 2

From equation 1 which is y = 20x,substitute into equation 2

16 = (20x - 6)/x

Cross multiply the above and we have

16x = 20x - 6

Collect like terms

20x - 16x = 6

4x = 6

X = 6/4

X = 3/2 or 1½ hours or 1 hour 30 minutes for the trip away from the nest

Substitute in equation 1 and we have

20x = y

20 × 1½ =y

Y = 60/2

Y = 30 miles is the distance from the nest to the birds destination prior to it's return

The entire trip took 3 hours since we have to calculate the "going and coming back" of the bird.

And the distance is 60 miles.

How in the world do I answer this problem??​
galben [10]

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

ST is y and SU is 2y-4.

Note that SU = ST + TU = y + 18

So we have 2y - 4 = y + 18

2y - 4 = y + 18

2y      = y + 22

y        = 22

So ST is 22.
