Let x be the distance of the additional water stations from the starting line.
We want on that is 1.5 miles behind the 8-mile water station, and one that is 1.5 miles ahead. The following absolute value function describes x:
|x-1.5| = 8
Two numbers comply: x= 9.5 and 6.5.
The additional water stations will be 6.5 and 9.5 miles from the starting line.
Answer:
Spiced eye gonna flush my toilet now ;)
So first we have to find out what the bottom number is so
8x+14
subsitute 8 for x
8(8)+14
64+14
78
so 156/78
an easy way to do this is to factor it out and find the 'ones' like 4/8=1/2 times 4/4 (4/4=1 and can be canceled out)
*=times
156=2*2*3*13
78=2*3*13
so (2*2*3*13)/(2*3*13)
2/1 times (2*3*13)/(2*3*13)
we can cross out the (2*3*13) and get
2 as the answer
The denominator is in the bottom of a fraction bar while the numerator is on the top.
Nvm wait I read the question wrong. The real answer would be 28, 28, 36
