Angela is on her way from home in Jersey City into New York City for dinner. She walks 1 mile to the train station, takes the train 1/2 of the way, and takes a taxi 1/6 of the way to the restaurant. How far does Angela live from the restaurant?

This is the correct answer to that word problem: 1 + (4/5)x + (1/6)x = x which would become (29x + 30)/30 = x 29x + 30 = 30x 30x - 29x =30 x = 30 Therefore Angela lives 30 Miles from the restaurant About 42km
