Answer:

Total distance covered by all three friends is,

15 km assuming that Sara traveled a distance of 3 km.

30 km assuming that Sara traveled a distance of 8 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D denotes the distance that Duncan covered on his bike.

Let H denotes the distance that Harold covered on his bike.

Let S denotes the distance that Sara covered on her bike.

Duncan rode 2 kilometers on his bike.

Mathematically,

D = 2 km

Harold rode twice as far as Duncan and Sara combined.

Mathematically,

H = 2(D + S)

H = 2(2 + S)

H = 4 + 2S

The distance covered by three friends all together is  

D + H + S

We don’t have enough information at this point to find out the total distance covered by all of them, so we need to assume the distance covered by Sara.

Assuming that Sara covered 0 km then

H = 4 + 2(0)

H = 4

Then total distance is

D + H + S

2 + 4 + 0

6 km

But 6 km doesn’t match any given option so try assuming another value for the distance covered by Sara.

Assuming that Sara covered 2 km then

H = 4 + 2(2)

H = 8

Then total distance is

D + H + S

2 + 8 + 2

12 km

But 12 km doesn’t match any given option so try assuming another value for the distance covered by Sara.

Assuming that Sara covered 3 km then

H = 4 + 2(3)

H = 10

Then total distance is

D + H + S

2 + 10 + 3

15 km

Assuming that Sara covered 8 km then

H = 4 + 2(8)

H = 20

Then total distance is

D + H + S

2 + 20 + 8

30 km

Therefore, the total distance covered by all three friends is,

15 km assuming that Sara traveled a distance of 3 km.

30 km assuming that Sara traveled a distance of 8 km.

Under his cell phone plan, Ian pays a flat cost of $59.50 per month and $5 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill under $80 per
inessss [21]
You would start by saying his budget is $80 so you start with 80= he pays an initial fee of $59.50 every month plus $5 per gigabyte so you would set it up like
80=59.50+5x
X being how many gigabytes he uses then you solve 80-59.50 is 20.5 divided by 5 gives you 4.1 but you round down cause you don’t want to pass the limit so therefor the most gigabytes he can use is 4

Hi algebra is hard please help: The expression (8x+ 4) inches represents the perimeter of a rectangle whose width is (3x − 4) in
Bess [88]

Answer:

Length = 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

If x = 2

Perimeter = 8x - 4

= 8(2) - 4

= 16 - 4

= 12 inches

Width = 3x - 4

= 3(2) - 4

= 6 - 4

= 2 inches

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

12 = 2(length + 2)

12 = 2length + 4

12 - 4 = 2 length

8 = 2 length

Length = 8/2

Length = 4 inches
