Answer:

 distance        distance

--------------- + ----------------- = 2.5 hrs

35 mph          45 mph

The distance is 49.22 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The time spent on the outward trip PLUS the time spent on the return trip add up to 2.5 hrs.  Thus,

 distance        distance

--------------- + ----------------- = 2.5 hrs

35 mph          45 mph

Then 45d + 35d = 2.5(35)(45) = 3937.5.  Adding 45d and 35d, we get 80d.  Dividing 3937.5 by 80 results in 49.22 (miles).

The home to work distance is 49.22 miles.
