Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Distance covered by a trucker, d = 500 miles
Average speed of the trucker, v = 600 mph
A trucker drove 500 miles in h hours. We need to write the linear equation used to find the number of hours that the trucker drove. Average speed is given by :
[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]
t is time in hours
[tex]t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{500\ miles}{60\ mph}[/tex]
If t is h hours,
[tex]h=\dfrac{500\ miles}{60\ mph}\\\\500=60h[/tex]
On solving, h = 5 hours.
Hence, this is the required solution.
