This equation shows how the distance traveled by a car is related to the time spent driving. d=50t+10. The variable t represents the time in hours, and the variable d represents the distance in miles. How far does the car travel in 2 hours?
Q. This equation shows how the distance traveled by a car is related to the time spent driving. d=50t+10. The variable t represents the time in hours, and the variable d represents the distance in miles. How far does the car travel in 2 hours?
Identify variable time: Identify the variable that corresponds to the time spent driving. The variable t represents the time in hours. For this problem, we are given that the time spent driving is 2 hours, so t=2.
Substitute value into equation: Substitute the value of t into the equation d=50t+10. We have t=2, so we plug this into the equation to get d=50×2+10.
Perform calculation to find distance: Perform the calculation to find the distance d.d=50×2+10d=100+10d=110
