Hi there!
From this problem we can pull out some key information and remove any excess.
- The trail is 1/4 of a mile long.
- Angelo rode around the trail 8 times.
- Angelo claims he rode 8/4 miles.
- Teresa claims he rode 2 miles.
From that we know that if Angelo rode around the trail 8 times and the trail is 1/4 a mile, he in total rode 8/4 of a mile.
However, Teresa claims he rode 2 miles!
And the answer is... they're both correct!
Angelo did indeed ride 8/4 miles however that is equivalent to 2 miles so they are both in the right.

Share It
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>5x+9=17x-4x+81
-------------------------
Simplify and combine like terms
</span>5x+9=<span>17x+-4x+<span>81
</span></span>5x+9=<span><span>(<span>17x+-4x</span>)</span>+<span>(81<span>)
</span></span></span>5x+9=<span>13x+<span>81
</span></span><span>-----------------------------------
Subtract 13x from each side
</span><span><span>5x+9-</span>13x</span>=<span><span>13x+81-</span><span>13x
</span></span>-8x+9=<span>81
</span><span>-------------------------------------------
Subtract 9 from each side
</span><span><span>-8x+9-</span>9</span>=<span>81-9</span>
<span><span>-8x</span></span>=<span>72
</span><span>------------------------------------------------
And now divide each side by -8
-8x </span>÷ -8 = 72 ÷ -8
<span>x = -9
</span>
