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.

Joe Mama :))))))))))))))))))))))
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x-3)-15 = 0
3(x-3) = 15
3x-9 = 15
3x = 24
x = 8
He will need 17 inches of ribbon.
The diagonal splits the square into two right triangles. We can then use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal (the hypotenuse of the triangle):
12² + 12² = x²
144 + 144 = x²
288 = x²
Take the square root of both sides:
√288 = √x²
16.97 = x
17≈x
