Question

solve the equations!
1.5-53t=0.1

1.5-53t= -0.1

anonymous · Answer

i hate decimals 
multiply by 10 and solve 
$$15-530t=1$$ for $t$

anonymous · Answer

$$530t=14$$
$$t=\frac{530}{14}$$

sorry if this is off subject but are you home schooled because I think I had this problem before

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, my alg teacher said there is a question like this on the alg test for tomorrow, and I need help.

anonymous · Answer

oh I knew it!

anonymous · Answer

the actual full question is this:
Starting from 1.5 miles away, a car drives toward a speed checkpoint and then passes it. The car travels at a constant rate of 53 miles per hour. The distance of the car from the checkpoint is given by d = |1.5 – 53t|. At what times is the car 0.1 miles from the checkpoint? Calculate your answer in seconds.

but I got it down to some equations. But im still super confused. Do you think you could help?

anonymous · Answer

I honestly didnt understand this question when I had it, but I think you can copy and paste this on google and yahoo may have it

anonymous · Answer

I found this, it may help
The car drives 53 miles per hour = 0.014722 miles per second
1 hour = 3600 seconds

0.1 miles takes 0.1 / 0.014722 = 6.7926 second
