The key is Esther travelled the same distance - x - in both her morning and evening commute.
45(time she took in the morning, or p) = x
30(time she took in the evening, or q) = x
Therefore 45(p) = 30(q), or divide both sides by 5 and get 9(p) = 6(q). I know you can divide it further, but these numbers are small enough and it's not worth the time.
Since the whole trip took an hour, (p + q) = 60min, and so, p = 60-q.
Therefore 9(60-q) = 6q or 540-9q = 6q. So 540 = 15q, which makes q = 36. If q = 36, then by (p+q)=60, p (the time she took in the morning) must equal 24.
45 miles per hour, her speed in the morning, times (24/60) hours, her time, makes 18 miles travelled in the morning. If you check, 30 miles per hour times (36/60) hours also makes 18 miles in the evening.

Answer:
x² - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write expression
(x + 2)(x - 2)
Step 2: FOIL
x² + 2x - 2x - 4
Step 3: Combine like terms
x² - 4
Answer:
<R=23°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°
So, <R + <S + <T = 180°
<R+90°+67°=180°
<R+157°=180°
<R=23°
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a circle = #r^2
1256 = 3.14 × r^2
r^2 = 1256/3.14
r^2 = 400
Square root of r = 20
Diameter = 2 × r = 2 × 20 = 40 inches
