Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail at an average rate of 5 miles per hour. He traveled for a total of 3 hours. Which equation can be used to find the time it took Stu to hike the trail?

3t = 5
3t = 5(3 – t)
3 + t = 5 + (3 – t)
3t + 5(3 – t) = 3

the expected value of the random variable : 0, 1 and 2

step-by-step explanation:

answer is 144

step-by-step explanation:

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
