HELP HAVING BAD DAY Jackie's dad drives her to a friend's house at the speed 30 mph. The friend's mom drives her back using the same route at the speed 25 mph. If the way back takes 6 minutes longer how far away is the friend's house?

Work Shown:

t = time it takes to go from Jackie's house to her friends house

distance = rate*time

d = 30*t

This represents the distance they travel if they go 30 mph

Then when going back home, they take 6 minutes longer

6 minutes = 6/60 = 0.1 hours

So they take 0.1 hours longer meaning the t updates to t+0.1

d = r*t

d = 25*(t+0.1)

d = 25t+2.5

This represents the trip back home.

Since the distance d doesn't change, we can equate the two right hand sides and solve for t

30t = 25t+2.5

30t-25t = 2.5

5t = 2.5

t = 2.5/5

t = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes

d = 30t = 30*0.5 = 15 miles
