Write an equation to determine the total length in kilometers (h)(h)(h)left parenthesis, h, right parenthesis of Josh's hike.
Answer provided by our tutors
17 + 2 = 19 km is 1/2 of the total length, that is,
19 = (1/2)h
(1/2)h = 19 multiply both sides by 2
h = 2*19
h = 38 km
The total length in kilometers is 38 km.
