Sarah is 6 miles away from the lake. She walks toward the lake at an average speed of 1.5 miles per hour. This situation can be represented by the equation y=1.5x, where y is the distance in miles, and x is the time in hours. After how many hours will she arrive at the lake?
They are giving you this equation 6=1.5 times X So to find X u must isolate it on one side of the equation to move the 1.5 do the opposite of the times x To do that you must divide 6 by 1.5 That gives you x 4
