Question

You are going on a trip. To get to the beach, you have to drive 475 miles. If you can average 50 miles per hour on your drive, which equation shows how much farther you have to drive over time?

Answer 1

The answer is in the picture.

Answer 2

C= -50x+475

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

distance travelled = 475miles

velocity = 50miles per hour

let the distance you cover per hour be x

hence per hour, your distance decreases by 50x hours

Required:

The expression for the distance remaining

Step two:

let the distance remaining be C

hence the expression

C= -50x+475
