Answer:

8x + 4 - z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

The distance from her house to school is 2x+5 The distance from the school to the park is z If the total distance she was that day is 10x +9 how far is it from the park back to her

Distance from house to school = 2x + 5

Distance from school to park = z

Total distance covered = 10x + 9

Distance from park to house =?

Total distance = (distance from house to school + distance from school to park + distance from park to house)

Let p = distance from park to house

10x + 9 = (2x + 5 + z + p)

10x + 9 - 2x - 5 - z = p

8x + 4 - z
