You are waiting at the end of a long straight line at Coffee Express. Your

friend Denzel is r + 12 feet in front of you. Denzel is 2r + 4 feet away from me
front of the line. If Denzel is in the exact middle of the line, how many teet
are you from the front of the line?​

Answer: 40 feet away from the front of the line.

Step-by-step explanation: So,you are 40 feet away from the front of the line,and Denzel is exactly halfway between you and the front of the line,which means he is 20 feet from the front and away from you.

you are 40feet away from the front

r+12=2r+4

so

r=8

so distance from Denzel to you is 8+12=20

and thus double this is 40
