Ainsley lives in a town 360 miles directly north of Orlando, and one Saturday, she takes the train from her town to the city. he train travels at a constant speed, and after 2.5 hours, she sees a sign that states "Orlando: 210 miles". What is an equation that represents (x), the distance Ainsley is from Orlando after x hours.
By definition we have to: d = v * t where, d: distance v: speed t: time We have then that the speed is: (360-210) = v * 2.5 Clearing we have: v = (360-210) /2.5 v = 60 mph We now write the generic equation of distance: d (x) = 60x Where, x: time Answer: an equation that represents (x), the distance Ainsley is from Orlando after x hours is: d (x) = 60x
