Total length of Josh's hike is 38 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Josh is hiking Glacier National Park. He has now hiked a total of 17 km, and is 2 km short of being 1/2 of the way done with his hike

Write an equation to determine the total length in kilometers (h) of Josh's hike.  Find the total length of Josh's hike.  (km)

Let h represent the total length in kilometers.

1/2 of the total distance would be .  

Now we will subtract 2 to half of the distance as Josh is 2 km short of being 1/2 of the way.

Now we will equate total distance covered by Josh with 17 km as:

Therefore, our required equation would be .

Let us solve for h.

Therefore, the total length of Josh's hike is 38 km.

its 4 because 2 times 2 is 4, if you double the number two you get four

x=-7

step-by-step explanation:

x+3=-10

-10+3=-7

x=-7
