When solving for a variable in an equation, get it separated from the others onto one side typically the left hand side and rest onto the opposite side usually the right hand side.
V = x / t
First, let us get the 't' variable out of denominator position and then it will be easier to work with.
V * t = (x / t) * t
Why did I multiply each side by 't' and not just the "x / t" expression? That is because every operation we do on one side, we must also do on the opposite side.
Okay, now we get the following equation.
V * t = x
We removed the 't' variable from denominator and in fact, it doesn't even exist anymore on the right hand side!
To complete this question, all we have to do is divide each side by 'V' and we are done!
(V * t) / V = x / V
Comes out to:
t = x / V
And there is your answer! Hope this helps with your adventure in learning Algebra!
1+8=3r
9=3r
Both divided by 3
3=r
Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for distance, rate and time is:
d = rt, where distance is the product of rate multiplied by time
Given that one train is moving at a rate of 70 mph and one is moving at a rate of 62 mph in the opposite direction, the combined distance over time is equal to 528 miles. Using the variable 't' for time:
70t + 62t = 528
Combine like terms: 132t = 528
Divide both sides by 132: 132t/132 = 528/132 or t = 4 hours
It’s bevause you can see what you are doing instead of doing it all of your head which could get messed up.
