Distance = rate * time

In the equation D = r * t, to solve for "r", one should:

A.) Subtract "t" from both sides of the equation.
B.) Divide both sides of the equation by "t".
C.) Multiply both sides of the equation by "t".
D.) Add a negative "t" to both sides of the equation.

$$D = r\times t$$$$\implies {D \over t} = {r \times t \over t}$$Do you see what I am doing?

anonymous · Answer

i would set it up where the time cancles out leaving you with r=d/t

Yes, so what did you exactly do there?
