We can use the distributive property for this:
4 (p+2) = 28
4p + 8 = 28.
4p = 28 - 8.
4p = 24.
Divide by 4 on both sides:
p = 6
0.5x + 78.2 = 287
-78.2 -78.2
subtract 78.2 on both sides you will then get 0.5x = 208.8 you will then divide by 0.5 and the answer is x = 417.6
Answer:
y = 3x
y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Distance walked by Jena = x
Distance walked by Karla = y
x = 6
y = 3x ;
y = 3(6)
y = 18 miles
