Question

write an expression for the distance going to the island. Let x be the speed of the boat you are taking to the island. Distance is equal to speed times time.

Answer 1

Let's do the following:

d will represents distance
t will represent time
x will represent speed

so, d = tx (the multiplication is implied).

Answer 2

The expression for the distance going to the island is:

`Distance=tx`

where t is the time taken by the boat to reach the island.

Explanation:

Let d denote the distance traveled to the island.

x denote the speed of the boat.

and let t denote the time taken by boat to reach the island.

Now, as we know that the distance is the product of the speed and Time.

i.e.

`Distance=Speed* Time`

i.e.

`d=tx`
