The location of Tommy minutes ago can be represented by -60 + 2(-t)

Where was Tommy minutes ago?

If Tommy walks at a rate of 2 feet per minute.

If Tommy is at -60 feet now,

Let

t represent time in minutes

minutes ago = -t

The expression;

-60 + 2(-t)

For instance, Where was Tommy 2 minutes ago?

-60 + 2(-t)

= -60 + 2(-2)

= -60 + -4

= -60 - 4

= -64 feet
