8. Suppose you are driving to visit a friend in another state. You are driving 60 miles per hour.
You must drive 480 miles total. If you have already driven 120 miles, how long will it take you to reach your destination? Use h to represent the number of hours it will take to reach your destination. Use the equation 60h + 120 = 480.
(1 point)
It will take 6 hours to reach the destination.
Explanation: Firstly, we need to isolate the variable h on one side of the equation:
60h + 120 = 480
Subtract 120 from both sides:
60h = 360
Divide both sides by 60:
h = 6
Therefore, it will take 6 hours to reach the destination.
