Florian ran 1.2 miles and walked 4.8 laps around the path at the park for a total distance of 3.6 miles. which shows the correct equation and value of x, the distance of 1 lap around the path at the park? 3.6x + 1.2 = 4.8; x = 1 mile 4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 1 mile 3.6x + 1.2 = 4.8; x = 0.5 mile 4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 0.5 mile

The correct answer would be D) 4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 0.5 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because laps would be the dependent variable, so we know the number of them (4.8) would be multiplied by the variable (x). We also know that 1.2 is the constant. Now we can solve to make sure this is the right equation.

4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6

4.8x = 2.4

x = 0.5

b. the decimal could be two-tenths.

step-by-step explanation:

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
