Answer:
x=.2
Step-by-step explanation:
3-5x=2
add 5x to both sides
-5x+5x=0
2+5x=2+5x
3=2+5x
subtract 2 from both sides
1=5x
divide each side by 5
.2=x
As three hours divided by 2 is 1.5 hours, we know that to find how far the person walks in hours, we simply have to double the distance the person walked in 1.5 hours.
2.4*2=4.8
The person walked 4.8 miles in three hours.
Does that make sense?
