Jordan will hike the trail shown at a rate of 3 mi/h. Write a linear equation to represent the distance Jordan still has to walk after x hours. What does the y-intercept of the equation represent?

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation

the answer is 24.04 :

step-by-step explanation:

i'm sorry, what's your question here?

2

step-by-step explanation:

i'm truly not sure if this is correct, but if you just want to simplify the equation, you would divide everything by two to get x + 6x= 16

if you want to solve-

7x=16

x= 16/7
