Step-by-step explanation:
it's that because no matter what if it's a negative and it has those lines it turns it into a positive and it's the right answer.
The answer my friend is 6 long shirts and 4 teeny shirts
5^2+2[73-(-4x5)]
25+2[73-(-20)]
25+2[+93]
27+93=120

<h3>
Answer: 16 miles</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
x = time in hours spent going upstream
5-x = remaining time in hours spent going downstream
Those two quantities add to 5 hours total.
Let's find the expression for how far the fisherman went upstream
distance = rate*time
d = r*t
d = 2x
Do the same for the downstream portion
d = r*t
d = 8(5-x)
d = 40-8x
The values of d refer to the same distance because he came back to the starting point.
Set those right hand sides equal to one another and solve for x.
2x = 40-8x
2x+8x = 40
10x = 40
x = 40/10
x = 4
5-x = 5-4 = 1
He spent 4 hours going upstream, and the remaining 1 hour coming back downstream.
--------------
If he spent 4 hours going upstream at 2 mph, then he traveled d = r*t = 2*4 = 8 miles.
The remaining 1 hour going downstream at 8 mph means he traveled d = r*t = 8*1 = 8 miles, which matches with the previous result. This confirms we have the correct one-way distance of 8 miles.
Therefore, the total round trip distance is 2*8 = 16 miles
