Hello!

First:

write an equation.

5x + (7x+8) + (7x+2) = 143

now combine like terms

19x + 10 =143

now subtract 10 from both sides

19x = 133

divide 19 on both sides.

x = 7.

Are you done here? Nope, we need to find out what each side is, so lets plug in the number 7 for x.

-----------------------------

For the side 5(x)

5(7) = 35

This side is 35m

-----------------------

For the side 7x + 2

7(7) + 2

49 + 2

51

This side is 51m

------------------------

For the side 7x + 8

7(7) + 8

49 + 8

57

This side is 57m.

------------------------

I hope this helps,

Have a great day!

Answer:

The question is incomplete, the complete complete question will be:

Lucy drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 9 hours. When Lucy drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 4 hours. If her average rate was 40 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does Lucy live from the mountains?

Lucy live at a distance of 288 miles from the mountains.

Step-by-step explanation:

DATA:

To the mts DATA:

Time = 9 hrs

Rate = r mph

Distance = 9r miles

From the mts DATA:

time = 4 hrs  

rate = r+40 mph  

distance = 4(r+40) miles

SOLUTION

Distance to = Distance from

9r = 4r + 160

5r = 160

r = 32 mph

RESULT:

Distance = 9r = 9*32 = 288 miles
