The amount of time needed to complete a certain roadtrip, t, varies inversely with the speed of a vehicle, s. At a speed of 52 miles per hour, the trip will be complete in 12 hours. How many hours would it take at a speed of 48 miles per hour?

The time it will take is 13 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given statement, we can generate the following inverse proportion relationship between t and s

t ∝ 1/s

The time it will take is 13 hours

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
