Starting from 130 feet away, a person on bicycle rides toward a checkpoint and then passes it. The rider is traveling at a constant rate of 25 feet per second. The distance between the bicycle and the checkpoint is given by the equation d=|130-25t|at what times is the bike 15 feet away from the check point

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

well you have to replace d with 15 because the distance is 15 feet away

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

so you have \[15=130-25t\] do you know how to simplify that?

OpenStudy (kingleo1099):

4.6 sec and 9.2 sec 2.9 sec and 5.8 sec 4.6 sec and 5.8 sec 2.9 sec and 3.3 sec

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

do you know how to simplify that equation?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Rhonda's question is appropriate: 15=130-25t need to be simplified first, and then solved for the value of the variable t that satisfies the equation. 15 and 130 are "like" terms; how would you combine them into ONE term?

OpenStudy (kingleo1099):

23/5?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Was that meant to be the result of combining 15 and 130? Your 23/5 shows division, where no division is called for. Note that the 15 and the 130 are on opposite sides of the = sign. You need to move the 130 to the left side of this equation. To accomplish this, subtract 130 from both sides of the equation 15=130-25t.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

not quite. I would try subtracting 130 from both sides. it is the simplest way to get the coeeficient of (t) and (t) itself to one side \[~~~~~15=~~130-25t\]\[-130~~~-130\]\[---------\]\[~~~~~~~?~~~~~~~~~~~?-25t\]

OpenStudy (kingleo1099):

115=-25

OpenStudy (kingleo1099):

Idk

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

15-130=-145 -145=-25t you then have to divide -145 by -25 to get t by its self

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

so divide -145 by -25
