Question 12

If a car tries to stop on ice, the distance the car slides can be modeled by the equation s= 50d + 25 where s stands
for speed in mph and d stands for distance in feet. What distance will you slide if your car is traveling at a speed of
55 mph?

Answer 1

`s = 50d + 25`

`55 = 50d + 25`

`55 - 25 = 50d + 25 - 25`

`30 = 50d`

`(30)/(50) = (50d)/(50)`

`0.6 = d`

Your car would slide a distance of 0.6 feet.
