Our current equation is:
2.5x -3.67 = 1.52.
To solve for x, we need to get x by itself and then simplify what we can from there.
2.5x -3.67 = 1.52
Add 3.67 to both sides to get 2.5x by itself.
2.5x = 5.19 is now our new equation.
Divide both sides by 2.5 to get x.
5.19/2.5 = 2.07
x = 2.07
I hope this helps!
When dealing with percentages it is often much easier to convert it to a decimal (mostly because a lot of people are uncomfortable working with fractions) but in this case, I suggest dividing 1 into 5 [hint hint fractions are just glorified division in the long run] and after you have done that multiply by 100. This will get you your answer.
You simply have to plot the point and draw a line that passes through most of them
Part A: 5.25
Average speed is 5.25 mi per hr
Part B: 8 hrs because
42 divided by 5.25 is 8
