Question 711067: The number of miles that remain to be flown by a commercial jet traveling from Boston to Los Angeles can be approximated by the equation
Miles remaining
= 2630 − 445t
where t is the number of hours since leaving Boston. In how many hours will the plane be 1000 miles from Los Angeles? Round to the nearest tenth of an hour.

2630 - 445t = 1000
-445t = -1630
t = 3.66

In 3.7 hours, the plane will be 1000 miles from Los Angeles.
