The distance you travel while hiking is a function of how fast you hike and how long you hike at this rate. you usually maintain a speed of three miles per hour while hiking. write an equation that represents this function, letting t represent the independent variable, let h represent the function, and h(t) the dependent variable. evaluate h(7) and write a sentence describing its meaning. write the result as an ordered pair.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
