Aperson leaves home at 8: 00 a. m. and drives to a destination at a rate of 40 mph. the person returns at a rate of 25 mph and arrives at 2: 30 p. m. how far was the destination?

the destination was 100 miles

D40+D25 = 6.5 hours

D65 = 6.5(40*25)

D=6.5(40*25)/65

D=100

step-by-step explanation:

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x
