The position of a object traveling in a straight line is given by the function s(t)=2t-3t. When s(t) represents the distance traveled and t represents the time the object has been in motion, how long will it take the object to move 17 meters?
-------------------
s(t)=2t-3t = -t
-----------
how long will it take the object to move 17 meters?
Assuming s(t) is in meters, 17 time units (not specified) in a negative direction.
