I'm sure it's only 15 miles :)
Hope that helps
<h2>
Answer: 2.8 miles</h2>
Step-by-step:
We can write it in the proportion 
where x is our number of miles trying to find
We now cross multiply or use the butterfly method which I will demonstrate both
<h3>Cross Multiply</h3>
We multiply the numerator with the dominator
so 
and 



or 
Now for the
<h3>Butterfly Method </h3>
You would do 7 times 24 divided by 60 or 
Then
simplify
so 2.8 miles in either method
I think is
9 + x = 16 + 27
9 + x = 43
x = 52
Eliminate parenthesis by using the distribution property
= 5x² -3x +3 - x² - 2x +1
Group similar terms
= (5-1)*x² + (-3 -2)*x + (3+1)
Then sum everything:
= 4x² -5x +4
Answer:
y= -4x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
where x=-1, y=8, and m=-4
8=(-4)(-1)+b
8=4+b
4=b
Thus, y= -4x+4
