It took Brian 3 hours to drive to a rock concert. On the way home, he was able to increase his average speed by 23 mph and make the return drive in only 2 hours. Find his average speed on the return drive.
Step 2 of 3: Use the table from part 1 to help write a linear equation that represents the given word problem. (Use x to represent the
unknown quantity.) Do not simplify your answer.

the answer is 11.2 (i know i’m late)

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).

a.for lorena 14 hours makes $126   for 16 hours she makes 144

for julie 6 hours makes $72 for 21 hours its $252

b. julie makes more money than lorena julie makes $12 an hour and lorena makes $9
