(2x-3)<5 now add3yo all dlide
-2<2x<8then devide by 2
-1<x<4then x belongs to(-1,4)
Brett ran 9 1/2 miles or 9.5 miles
Adam ran 5.75 miles
9.5 - 5.75 = 3.75
Brett ran 3.75 miles more than Adam
Okay, so first you draw a picture and let x be the distance from point D to the rest stop. Then the distance from point to the rest stop is 8 - x
You know that the length of the new trail is y + z, where y is the distance from Ancaster to the rest stop and z is the distance from Dundas to the rest stop.
Now by the Pythagorean theorem, y^2 = 4^2 + x^2 and z^2 = 6^2 + (8 - x) ^2
So take square roots of these, add them, and minimize.
Note: I am assuming the path is perfectly straight, otherwise this approach fails.
