Answer:
Okay, here's the method I'm going to use.
If you drive north 6 miles, and then drive east 19 miles, you are technically making a triangle.
19 miles
l_______________
6 milesl
l
You are just missing the last side of the triangle: the straight line stretching from across your starting point to the ending point. You can find this by using the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 19^2 = c^2
36 + 361 = c
397 = c
= 19.924859
Rounded to the nearest tenth, your answer is
19.9 miles
Check your solution by first checking the end point , in the related equation. Pick a value greater than , such as 2, to check in the inequality. Solve for x. Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable.
The answer is going to be 1/9
$25 - $4 = $21
You spent $21 on 3 boxes of granola bars.
3 boxes = $21
1 box = $21 ÷ 3 = $7
One box of granola bar costs $7.
