Answer: Yes; " d/t = r " ;
__________________________
is, in fact, an equivalent equation to: "d = r t" .
___________________________
Explanation:
___________________________
Consider the equation: "d = rt" (which is, " d = r*t ").

We are asked if: " d/t = r " an "equivalent equation" [ to: " d = rt "] .
___________________________
Note that: "d/t = r " is the same as: ↔ "r = d/t ".

So, given: "d = rt" ; let us rewrite the equation, by isolating: "r" on one side of the equation:
_____________________
→ d = r t ; divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "t" ; to isolate "r" on one side of the equation:
__________________________
→ d/t = (r*t) / t ; to get:

→ d/t = r ; so yes; "d/t = r" and: "d = rt" are equivalent equations.
___________________________
Note: In practice, these variables are often used in the formula:

"d = rt" ; or, "distance = rate * time" .

Hello, I have done this same math question before.

1. 15 dollars
2. Deposit=15*month+105
3. Deposit=15*12+105=$285
4. 500=15*month+105
395=15*month
26.33=month
Round up to 27 for the nearest whole month, so month 27.

Hope this helps!
