document.write( "Question 6426: I am having trouble with this question. Suppose a family starts out 50 miles from home at time t=0. They travel away from home at a constant speed of 45 miles an hour. What's the equation that tells you how far they'll be from home t hours later? ( Assume d is distance in miles.) \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
time = t hours
\n" ); document.write( "speed=distance/time
\n" ); document.write( "therefore,distance=speed*time
\n" ); document.write( "given speed=45 miles/hour
\n" ); document.write( "hence,distance=(45*t)miles
\n" ); document.write( "but they are already 50 miles away
\n" ); document.write( "so we add this to the above,giving us
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "distance=(50+45t)=5(10+9t)miles
\n" ); document.write( "
