Denise bikes 3 miles to her friend's house, and then she bikes home. The average rate biking to her friend's house is twice the average rate coming home. Write and simplify an expression for the time it takes Denise to make a round-trip in terms of the average rate coming home x.

The total time for the trip is:

T =  3mi*( 3/2x).

Where x is the rate at which she comes home.

How to find the time for the total trip?

Remember the relation:

distance = rate*time.

We know that the distance is 3 miles (done twice).

First, the rate is 2x and then the rate is x, then the time it took the first half is:

t = 3mi/2x

And for the coming back:

t = 3mi/x

Then the total time for the trip is:

T =  3mi/2x +  3mi/x = 3mi( 1/2x + 1/x) = 3mi*( 3/2x).
