If you don’t know what a number is, you should substitute it for x and make an equation with the information you have been given. This gives:
(x + 8) x 2 = x - 11
Then, solve:
2x + 16 = x - 11
2x = x -27
x = -27
This can then be checked by using the number in the original text.
-27 + 8 = -19
-19 x 2 = -38
-38 is 11 less than -27.
Hope this helps :)
Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: thats your answer.
Since the distances were the same you can find the average speed directly by adding the speeds then dividing by 2. No need to weight anything.
If we’re considering speed regardless of direction, the average speed is:
(24 + 16) / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20mph
However if direction matters, then one number has to be negative since the directions are opposite:
(24 - 16) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4mph (in the positive direction)
Depending on the context, either of these could be your answer.

Im pretty sure it would be doubling the length of each side
