How many minutes has the family been traveling today when they have traveled 201 miles?

Question

The distance in miles a family has traveled so far on their trip can be modeled by the equation y= 0.6x -75, where x is the number of minutes of driving today.

Answer 1

y =  0.6 x -75

 

201=0.6x-75

 

0.6x=276

 

   x=  276/.6

 

     =460

So, travelled for 460 minutes.
