Question 513665: The number of miles remaining for a jet traveling from San Francisco to New York can be approximated with the linear equation Miles remaining = 2650 - 475t where t is the number of hours since leaving San Francisco.
How long will the whole trip take? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The number of miles remaining for a jet traveling from San Francisco to New York can be approximated with the linear equation Miles remaining = 2650 - 475t where t is the number of hours since leaving San Francisco.
How long will the whole trip take?
---
When the plane arrive in SF the miles remaining is zero.
--------------------
Solve for "t":
2650 - 475t = 0
---
475t = 2650
---
time = 5.5789 hrs = 5 hr 35 minutes
