Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the length of Zach's car
y ----> the length of Ginny's car
we know that
The sum of the lengths of both cars is 30 inches
so
----> equation A
Ginny's car is 2 more than 3 times the length of Zach's car
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A

1. First consider the unknown original price as 'x'.
2. Then consider the rate of discount.
3. To find the actual discount, multiply the discount rate by the original amount 'x'.
4. To find the sale price, subtract the actual discount from the original amount 'x' and equate this to given sale price.
Answer:
<em>L = 24,873.6 miles</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Length of the Circumference</u>
Given a circle of radius r, the length of the circumference, or line surrounding the shape is:

The Earth has a diameter of 7,917.5 miles. The radius is half the diameter:
r=7,917.5/2=3,958.75 miles
Assuming a plane flies around the equator at ground level, the distance it would travel is:

L = 24,873.6 miles
