write an equation to determine the total length in kilometers (h)( h, )of josh's hike.

find the total length of josh's hike. \text{km}km

The equation to determine the total length in kilometers is  

The total length in kilometers of Josh’s hike is  38 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the total length in kilometers of Josh’s hike be h.

Now Given that He has now hiked a total of 17 km and is 2 km short of being 1/2 of the way done with his hike.

It means that to reach half of the length of total length Josh needs 2 more km to add in his hiking which is done which is of 17 km.

Framing the above sentence in equation form we get;

Hence, The equation to determine the total length in kilometers is  

Now Solving the above equation we get;

First we will multiply 2 on both side using Multiplication property we get;

Hence,  The total length in kilometers of Josh’s hike is  38 km.

Equation:

17 + 2 = h

Total length:

38 km

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 489
