Question 160785: A man walks at the pace of 3 miles per hour. After 2 hours he stops for a rest. Let t be time after the rest when he continues to walk . Let d be the total distance traveled since he started. Write an equation linking d and t.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
t=the remainder of the trip traveled at 3mph
therefore it doesn't matter how long he took a rest
2+t=time it took to get to the total distance (d) at 3mph
The equation is 3(2+t)=d
