Answer:

x - 2 => x = 2

x² + 3ax - 2a

=> 2² + 3 × a × 2 - 2 × a

=> 4 + 6a - 2a

=> 4 + 4a

=> 4 ( 1 + a )

★ 1 + a = 0

a = -1

Mrac [35]

For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
We have:
Length of the sides of the triangle.
We want to find:
Length of the hypotenuse.
Using the Pythagorean theorem we have:
$d ^ 2 = 2 ^ 2 + 2 ^ 2
$
$d = \sqrt{2 ^ 2 + 2 ^ 2} 

d = \sqrt{4 + 4} 

d = \sqrt{8} 

d = 2\sqrt{2} 
$
Answer:
She is:
$d = 2\sqrt{2}$
miles far from her starting point
