Question 997147: Jacob decided to ride his bicycle across the country during his 3-month summer vacation. The route he took from Boston to Seattle covered a total of 3760 miles. To keep his mind occupied during some of the long flat stretches of countryside, he often did algebra problems in his head. One day, for example, he determined that his distance from his starting point was exactly 70 miles more than twice the distance remaining until the finishing point. How far was Jacob from the finishing point of his journey when he made that calculation?

Question 997304: I am trying to find the vertex as well as the equation of symmetry but I am not coming up with the same answer as the answer key. Can you help me. The equation is:
y=x^2+10x I am thinking that I have to add c so that it looks like: x^2+10x+0.
Then I use the the formula x=-b/2a and I get x=-5. But the y is the elusive one because the answer key is saying that y=-225 and I don't see how they got that. Can you show me?

Question 998321: I've got an equation that I can't seem to get the right answer. Word problems are not a strength of mine so I need some help. The question is:
Length of a rectangle is twice its width. If area is 120 sq meters, find length and width. Does l=2(w) or l=w^2? Since A=L*W, my equation would look like this: 120=2w*w. I would subtract 120 from both sides to get 2w*w-120=0 or I wouldn't do that. Can you help me?
