Hi.
\n" ); document.write( "*Note: let t represent the to travel to the island. (5-t)represents the time to travel back to harbor.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "distance = rate * time (distance the same to and from)
\n" ); document.write( "\"22%28mi%2Fhr%29%2At+=18%28mi%2Fhr%29%2A%285-t%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify and Solve for t
\n" ); document.write( "\"22%28mi%2Fhr%29%2At+=90%28mi%2Fhr%29-+18%28mi%2Fhr%29%2At\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"40%28mi%2Fhr%29%2At+=90%28mi%2Fhr%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t+=2.25hr%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "d= r*t
\n" ); document.write( "\"22%28mi%2Fhr%29%2A2.25hr+=+highlight%2849.5mi%29\"
