"How many days did it take for the average household to produce 150 pounds of garbarge?"$$
A = 150
$$We can substitute this into the equation already provided: $$
A=150 = 6.5t
$$Now we just need to solve for $t$$$
150 = 6.5t
$$

anonymous · Answer

$$6.5t
$$This is actually multiplication: $$
6.5\times t
$$The inverse is division $$
(6.5\times t)\div 6.5 = t
$$If we do this to both sides of the equation simultaneously: $$
150\div 6.5 = (6.5\times t)\div 6.5 \
150\div 6.5 = t
$$

23 days

After 23 days, the average household will have produced just under 150 pounds of garbage.  On the 24th day they have produced over 150 pounds.
