Alfred is taking a trip. He drove 150 mi and then stopped to refuel. He will drive 60 mph to finish his trip. Let x represent th
e hours it takes for Alfred to complete the rest of his trip, and let y represent the total distance traveled. Complete the function equation that relates Alfred’s total distance traveled to his time.
The total distance traveled by Alfred is the sum of the distance he traveled before and after refueling.
The distance he traveled before refueling is 150 miles. After refueling, the distance he traveled is the product of his speed and time, x hours. Therefore, his total distance traveled is,
There are loads, but for example you can find the diagonal from a lamppost the the end of its shadow if you know the height of the post and the length of the shadow.
