Answer 1

@UnkleRhaukus can you please help me with this ? :(

Answer 2

Let t is the time:
-> d1 = 350t , d2 = 300 ( t - 1/2)
Total distance:
350t + 300 ( t - 1/2) = 2450 mi

@Rubie Can you solve from here?

Answer 3

i've done a, just kinnda stuck on b and c

Answer 4

Don't you see that I already solved b for you ???

Answer 5

waitt a minute.... so 350t + 300 ( t - 1/2) = 2450 mi is the equation ?

Answer 6

So you have no idea what the equation looks like?

Answer 7

" waitt a minute.... so 350t + 300 ( t - 1/2) = 2450 mi is the equation ? "

Answer 12

heyy for c the nest step after the rquation you gave me, is it 350t + ( t -1/2 ) = 2150 ?
