\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "At first, I thought it was 60 mph, but my algebra teacher said it was wrong. Is it because the word problem does not say how long it took the man to travel up and down the hill? My algebra teacher said that the question was answerable, so please help me out. Thank you.\r

You can't simplify because the distances don't cancel out since your ignoring BIDMAS e.g 8(7+4) is different to (8x7)+4 so you can't simplify \"%284x%2B4%29%2F4\" \n" ); document.write( "
