Suppose you’re driving to visit a friend in another state you’re driving 60 mph you must drive for 480 miles total you if you have already driven one and 120 miles how long will it take you to reach your destination use h to represent the number of hours it will take to reach your destination use equation 60h +20 = 480
To solve for h, we first need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 20 from both sides:
60h + 20 - 20 = 480 - 20
60h = 460
Next, we can isolate h by dividing both sides by 60:
60h / 60 = 460 / 60
h = 7.67
So it will take approximately 7.67 hours to reach your destination, or approximately 7 hours and 40 minutes.
