god loves you...

Alexandria wants to go hiking on Saturday. she will consider these conditions when she chooses which several parks to visit: she wants to hike for 2 hours she wants to spend no more than 8 hours away from home she can drive an average speed of 65 mph to and from any park

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

write and solve an inequality to find possible distances from Alexandria's home to a park that satisfies the conditions. @SolomonZelman ik :P

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I copy pasted what have so far, it is a round trip

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

umm....not really sure but i believe it's a round trip cuz it says "to and from any park"

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

it seems a ridiculous case as far as actual, real case. Having an average speed of mph including the little streets she has to take when going into a neighborhood this means she drives more than 65 mph at the highway. Anyway, let x be the number of hours for the trip: \(\large\color{black}{ x\le8 }\) but you take away 2 hours because she will be hiking (considering your fake case where we don't count the time for ticket-purchase and other such things) \(\large\color{black}{ x\le6 }\) so 6 hours is just for driving. for a single drive (from home to park, OR the other way) \(\large\color{black}{ 2x\le6 }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

the inequality to start with is: \(\large\color{black}{ \color{green}{2x}\color{red}{+2}\le\color{blue}{8} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

the green is the (1-way) distance to or from the park. the blue is the number of hours she is away from home the red is the number of hours she is hiking

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

thanks @SolomonZelman :)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

oh, yw!
