a) d (t) = 25 - 0.44t

b) d (t) = 16.2 mles

Step-by-step explanation:

Question incomplete.

From google, I found two question

a) Simplify algebraic expression

b) Use each form of the algebraic expression to determine the total distance that you travel if you spend 20 minutes walking to the bus stop

Answer:

a)

d (t) = 0,06 t + 0.5 (50 - t)

d (t) = 0,06 t + 25 - 0,5t

d (t) = 25 - 0.44t

b)

d (t) = 25 - 0.44t for t = 20 min

d (t) = 25 - 0.44 * (20)

d (t) = 25 - 8.8

d (t) = 16.2 mles
