write a linear equation to model the situation. you have walked 4 miles on a trail. you continue to walk at a rate of 3 miles per hour for h hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

We are given that the initial distance walked is  4 miles

Also, the rate/ speed with which you are currently walking is 3 miles per hour

let the time taken be hours

and let the total distance be y

Step two:

We want to write an expression for the total distance

The total distance is given as

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571

step-by-step explanation:

1/8 3/16 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

you put them as all the same denominator and multiply
