Answer:

4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Walking:</u>

Distance  = d miles

Rate = 4 mph

Time = t hours

d=4\cdot t

<u>Biking:</u>

Distance = d miles

Rate = 10 mph

Time =t-\dfrac{18}{60}=t-0.3 hours (convert minutes to hours)

d=10\cdot (t-0.3)

Hence,

4t=10(t-0.3)\\ \\4t=10t-3\\ \\4t-10t=-3\\ \\-6t =-3\\ \\6t=3\\ \\t=\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5\ hour

Therefore, the distance to friend's house is

d=4\cdot 0.5=2\ miles

and the total distance of the round trip is

2+2=4\ miles

Pedro has created the function f(x)= 4x-3/2 to represent the number of assingments he has completed where x represents the numbe
Law Incorporation [45]
The given function is
f(x) = 4x - 3/2
where
f(x) = number of assignments completed
x =  number of weeks required to complete the assignments

We want to find f⁻¹ (30) as an estimate of the number of weeks required to complete 30 assignments.
The procedure is as follows:

1. Set y = f(x)
   y = 4x - 3/2

2. Exchange x and y
   x = 4y - 3/2

3. Solve for y
   4y = x + 3/2
   y = (x +3/2)/4

4. Set y equal to f⁻¹ (x)
  f⁻¹ (x) = (x + 3/2)/4

5. Find f⁻¹ (30)
  f⁻¹ (30) = (30 + 3/2)/4 = 63/8 = 8 (approxmately)

Answer:
Pedro needs about 8 weeks to complete 30 assignments.
