d=rt Start with the distance rate time equation


200=r%28x%2B3%29 Plug in d=200 and t=x%2B3


200%2F%28x%2B3%29=r Divide both sides by x%2B3.


r=200%2F%28x%2B3%29 Rearrange the equation


So the rate is 200%2F%28x%2B3%29 feet per second

The rate, given that the distance is 200 ft and the time is x+3 seconds
-------------------
rate = distance/time
rate = 200/(x+3) ft per second
