Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

the 2 mph is a red herring. If there is a rate of 10 mph, and the trip took 1.5 hours, the 1 hour=10 miles, and the .5=5 miles, add em up and its 15 miles

Answer: the school is 2.5 miles from Sue's home.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the school from Sue's home.

Time = distance/speed

Sue walked from her home to her school at a constant rate of 2 miles per hour. It means that the time it took her to walk to the school is

x/2

She picked up her bicycle and rode back at a constant rate of 10 miles per hour. The distance covered is the same and the time spent in riding back home is

x/10

If the round trip took 1.5 hours, it means that

x/2 + x/10 = 1.5

Multiplying through by 10, it becomes

5x + x = 15

6x = 15

x = 15/6

x = 2.5 miles

Evaluate 2b^2-4a+4a^2 for a= 3 and b= -8
masha68 [24]
Given a = 3 and b = - 8 ,


= > 2b² - 4a + 4a²

= > 2( - 8 )² - 4( 3 ) + 4( 3 )²

= > 2( 64 ) - 4( 3 ) + 4( 9 )

= > 128 - 12 + 36

= > 116 + 36

= > 152
