Answer :
He is 2km short of halfway:
⇒ 17 + 2 = 19 km
He is halfway:
19 x 2 = 38 km
Total distance for the hike = 38km
⇒ 17 + 2 = 19 km
He is halfway:
19 x 2 = 38 km
Total distance for the hike = 38km
Let
h-------> the total length in kilometers of Josh’s hike
we know that
[tex]\frac{h}{2} =(17+2)[/tex] ------> equation to determine the total length in kilometers
Solve for h
Multiply by [tex]2[/tex] both sides
[tex]2*\frac{h}{2} =2*(17+2)[/tex]
[tex]h=2*(19)[/tex]
[tex]h=38\ km[/tex]
therefore
the answer is
The equation to determine the total length in kilometers is
[tex]\frac{h}{2} =(17+2)[/tex]
The total length in kilometers of Josh’s hike is
[tex]38\ km[/tex]
