Algebra.Com's Answer #455771 by timvanswearingen(106)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Every hour that goes by, Delvis is going 2 more miles. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "They will be 6 miles apart.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Alternately, Candy is going 6mi/h. Multiply by the number of hours to see how far she goes. 6mi/h * 3 h = 18 miles.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Delvis is going 8mi/h. Multiply by the number of hours to see how far she goes. 8mi/h * 3 h = 24 miles. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From here, hopefully you can see that they are 6 miles apart. 24-18=6 \n" ); document.write( " |
