If the man walked at 3 mph for 2 hours, then he would have travelled 6 miles before he stopped to rest. So if the total distance of the walk is d, then the distance walked after he rested must be d - 6. If t is the time walked after the rest and the rate, r, is still 3 mph, then the equation
describes the relationship between d and t.
