Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
This is a hard one
We have to use the rational root theorem
= 0
We have to find all the factors of a and d and put them in a fraction

We then plug them into the equation to see if any of them work
The equation isn't true when plugging 1, but is true when plugging in 1/2
factored form of 1/2 is (2x-1)
Then we divide the original equation by (2x-1) (you can use synthetic division or long division, it would be hard to type out the process for that) to get 
So now the equation is 
Solve the second half of this equation using the quadratic formula to get
and 
We already know the solution for the first half of the equation (1/2)
So the final answers are:

Stanley the skunk will save about 15.5 feet.
This problem can be solve with the Pythagorean Theorem. The possible paths that Stanley can take make a right triangle. The legs of the triangle are 25 and 28, and the hypotenuse would be 37.5.
If Stanley went the long way, he would travel 25 + 28 = 53 feet. Taking the short way (hypotenuse) is 53 - 37.5 = 15.5 feet shorter.
