9514 1404 393

Answer:

  9.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the round trip distance. Then Michelle's time was ...

  t = distance/speed

  1 = (x/2)/8 +(x/2)/12 = x(1/16 +1/24) = x(3/48 +2/48) = x(5/48)

  48/5 = x = 9.6

The round trip is 9.6 miles.

Find any restrictions on x

The denominator of any fraction cannot be equal to zero. This is because if the denominator is equal to zero, the, the fraction itself would be "undefined".

Applying this to the above mentioned problem, we will find two denominators including the term "x". These two denominators cannot be equal to zero.

First fraction:
1/x ..................> x cannot be equal to zero

Second fraction:
1/(x^2 - 3x -4) = 1/(x - 4)(x + 1)
The denomination will be equal to zero if x = 4 or x = -1
........> x cannot be equal to 4 or -1

Based on this, the restrictions on x are as follows:
x cannot be equal to 0,4 or -1

30,000 - 19,500 = 10,500 gallons left to fill the pool. So I am assuming the answer would be w = 10,500 gallons... unless there was an equation missing in the question
