I cha use a 10 fact because I can round to the nearest 10 which is 20 for 15 and 10 for 8
City hall to post office = 6 1/2 miles = represented by f
city hall to library site = 1 1/4 miles = represented by d
library site to post office = unknown. = represented by e
City hall to library site PLUS library site to post office IS EQUAL to city hall to post office
d + e = f
1 1/4 + e = 6 1/2
find e.
e = 6 1/2 - 1 1/4
e = 13/2 - 5/4
e = (13*2)/(2*2) - 5/4
e= 26/4 - 5/4
e = (26-5)/4
e = 21/4
e = 5 1/4 distance from library site to post office.
To check:
d + e = f
1 1/4 + e = 6 1/2
1 1/4 + 5 1/4 = 6 1/2
6 2/4 = 6 1/2
6 1/2 = 6 1/2
I don't know if you want the whole x+2 on the bottom or not, but I will put it on the bottom for now.
Replace x with (3+h)
f(3+h)=1/[(3+h)+2]
Now if it's supposed to be JUST x in the denominator...
Replace x with (3+h)
f(3+h)=1/(3+h)+2
Best wishes!
It is 780.99999 sorry if i'm incorrect
