Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

Flight speed there = 12 feet / second

Flight speed back = 8 feet / second

Total time = 22 minutes

Time at rest = 18 minutes

Time in flight = 22 - 18 = 4 minutes

Equation

Let the time going to the flowerbed = t

12*t + 8*t + 18 = Distance travelled + time at rest.

Answer

12*t + 8*t + 18 = Distance travelled + time at rest
