This is spelled correctly word for word from the textbook, and it makes no sense to me at all. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A moving van leaves a house traveling at a constant rate of 40mi/h.
The family leaves the house 1/2 hour later following the same route in a car.
They travel at an average rate of 60 mi/h
a.Define a variable for the time traveled by the moving van.
Let the time for the van be "t".
b.write an expression for the time traveled by the car.
Then the time for the car is "t-(1/2)"
