Answer:
480 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance between Maria's house and mountains ans r represent Maria's rate for going trip.
We have been given that there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 12 hours.


We are also told that hen Maya drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 8 hours. Maria's average rate was 20 miles per hour faster on the trip home.
So Maria's speed while returning back would be
.

Upon equating both distances, we will get:






Upon substituting
in equation
, we will get:

Therefore, Maya live 480 miles away from the mountains.
We just have to solve to get a simplified answer
we have
9y + 5 = 7 + 3y + 2y
9y +5 = 7 + 5y
9y-5y= 7-5
4y=2
so if we solve further we will not get the answer that is given in option
so option d is the write answer
There are 76200000 or 762 x 10^5 more people in Mexico than Canada.
