Ryan ran a race at a pace of 6 miles per hour. They ran a total of 9 miles. If you solve using the equation 6x = 9 which unit should be used for the missing value? Enter 1 for miles, 2 for hours, or 3 for miles per hour. (1 point)
To solve the equation 6x = 9, the unit that should be used for the missing value is hours.
How many
To find the value of x in the equation 6x = 9, you would divide both sides of the equation by 6.
6x / 6 = 9 / 6
Simplifying the equation gives:
x = 3/2
So, x = 1.5 hours.
Wrong
I apologize for the error. Let me correct my response.
To solve the equation 6x = 9, we can rearrange it to solve for x:
x = 9/6
Simplifying the fraction gives us:
x = 3/2
So, the value of x is 3/2 hours or 1.5 hours. Therefore, the unit that should be used for the missing value is hours.
Still not right
Apologies for the confusion. Let me provide the correct explanation.
To solve the equation 6x = 9, we need to isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by 6. This will give us:
x = 9/6
Simplifying the fraction gives x = 1.5
Therefore, the value of x is 1.5. Since x represents the time in hours, the unit that should be used for the missing value is hours (2).
