her distance d kilometers from her home after t hours is given byd = 175 -70t
How long does it take to reach her home?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The criterion getting home is  d = 0.


In other words, the time to get home is the solution "t" of the equation

    175 - 70t = 0.


From the equation,

    175 = 70t

      t = 175%2F70 = 2.5 hours = 2 hours and 30 minutes.    ANSWER

Solved.
