Step-by-step explanation:
its hard to explain but you could always use a clculator and no I did not use one. But these are hard I'm a math major
First, you are going to distribute the 3 into the (6x+2x) and the 8 into the (5x+6). After that, the parenthesis should be gone. Then, move all the x values to one side, and the constants to the other. Then, solve as you normally would.

Answer:
The distance from Greentown to Glenavon is D1 = g*(15+x) miles downstream.
The distance from Glenavon to Cambria is D2 = g*(15-x) miles upstream.
The difference D1 - D2 is 2 miles, according to the condition.
It gives you an equation g*(15+x) - g*(15-x) = 2, which you can easily solve and find "x", the rate of the current. x = 1/g miles per hour.
We can multiply the number of parts Marsha has finished by the miles of each part:
5 × 1/10
= 5/10
=1/2
Therefore, she raced 1/2 miles.
Hope it helps!
