Josh is hiking Glacier National Park. He has now hiked a total of 17 \text{ km}17 km17, space, k, m and is 2 \text{ km}2 km2, space, k, m short of being \dfrac12 2 1 start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction of the way done with his hike.
Josh has hiked 17 km, which is 2 km away from being 1/2 done.
In a equation, this might look like: 17 + 2 = (1/2)h
where h is the length of the hike.
and solve for h, h = 38 km
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
For this case, the first thing you should do is define a variable.
We have then:
d: distant total traveled.
We now write the equation that models the problem.
We have then:
\(\frac{1}{2}d = 17 + 2
\)
From here, we must clear the value of the unknown d.
We have then:
\(\frac{1}{2}d = 19
d = 19 * 2
d = 38 Km
\)
Answer:
The total distance that Josh will travel is:
\(d = 38 Km\)
