(3x+1)(2x-3) 1 point Sam walks (3)/(8)km to school. After school he walks another (x+1)/(3)km to get to work. What simplified rational expression describes the total length of both walks?

Final answer:

To find the total length of both walks, multiply the two given expressions and simplify.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total length of both walks, we need to multiply the two given expressions: (3/(8))km and ((x+1)/(3))km. To simplify the expression, we can multiply the numerators and denominators separately. This gives us: (3/(8))*(x+1)/(3) = (3(x+1))/(8*3) = (3(x+1))/24. Therefore, the simplified rational expression that describes the total length of both walks is (3(x+1))/24.
