Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
Because we know the midpoint is in the middle, we know that both sides are equal.
So set both = to each other
4x - 1 = 3x + 3
add 1 to both sides
4x=3x+4
then subtract 3x from both sides and because there is always a 1 in front of x the answer would be
x=4
Factorize the quadratic.
We have 
, so
Now, both 
and 
(since the absolute value of any number cannot be negative), so we just need to worry about when the left side is exactly zero. This happens for
So the solution to the inequality is the set
Answer: The independent variable is time (t). The dependent variable is the total distance (d).
