After riding on the bus. Tran walked 30 minutes to get her friend’s house. Her total travel time was 4 times as long as the bus ride. What equation does this situation model? Use t for the time of the bus ride.
The equation that models this situation is:
4t = t + 30
Where:
t = time of the bus ride
This equation represents that the total travel time (4t) is equal to the time of the bus ride (t) plus the 30 minutes Tran walked to get to her friend's house.
