Carla enjoys riding her skateboard. She rode her skateboard 10 miles the store and half that distance again. Write an equation that would represent Carla's total distance. Let "x" represent initial distance and "y" represent your total distance...

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

486in is correct

step-by-step explanation:

a.for lorena 14 hours makes $126   for 16 hours she makes 144

for julie 6 hours makes $72 for 21 hours its $252

b. julie makes more money than lorena julie makes $12 an hour and lorena makes $9  

.

no solution exists the way you wrote the equation.
