The equation d=3t represents the relationship between the distance (d) in inches that a snail is from a certain rock and the time (t ) in minutes. how many minutes does it take the snail to get 9 inches from the rock?

3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

d=3t is our formula.

d being the distance (9 inches for this problem)

t is the time in minutes

Substituting our known information would make our equation look like:

9 = 3t

to solve for t we divide both sides of the equation by 3

9/3 = 3t/3

3 = t

So if a snail travels 3 inches per minute, it will have traveled 9 inches in 3 minutes.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2
