Answer:

18 + 22.5 = 40 + .5; confirms out solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A man travels from Town X to Town Y at an average rate of 50 mph and returns at an average rate of 40 mph. He takes a 1/2 hour longer than he would take if he made the round trip at an average of 45 mph. What is the distance from Town X to Town Y

:

Let d = distance from x to y

:

Write a time equation; time = distance%2Fspeed

Different speed roundtrip time = 1 speed roundtrip time + half/hour

d%2F50 + d%2F40 = 2d%2F45 + 1%2F2

Multiply equation by 1800 to get rid of the denominators:

1800*d%2F50 + 1800*d%2F40 = 1800*2d%2F45 + 1800*1%2F2

Cancel the denominators and you have:

:

36d + 45d = 40(2d) + 900

:

81d = 80d + 900

:

81d - 80d = 900

:

d = 900 miles from x to y

:

:

Check solution in: d%2F50 + d%2F40 = 2d%2F45 + 1%2F2

900%2F50 + 900%2F40 = 1800%2F45 + 1%2F2

18 + 22.5 = 40 + .5; confirms out solution

Answer:

16

She got c

16 + c

She now has 32

16 + c = 32

I don't know if that's the exact answer, but basically, 16 needs to be added to c, and it needs to equal 32.  

Hope this helps! :)
